Mi-2, GPM - 1:33

[Kolokolnikov]

At the beginning of the year, I started building the mi-2 from GPM. Already assembled: fuselage and engine frame, fuselage skin, nose cone and windshield. And the little things of interior elements, though not all.

Here are some photos of the assembly process:

Thanks guys

Geeze!! Did you even stop to take a breathe!!

Thank you, I had a break for 3 years. Over the past year, I have build enough models, and I don’t want to stop yet.
Only, my wife is already interested in where I will store all these models.

WOW! Your parts looks absolutely stunning!

Finished small details and cockpit frame.

The internal components look really good!!!

Excellent detail and workmanship. Keep up the great work.

Up to this point everything was going well, the connectivity was very good. But I found a problem, if you glue the panel exactly in its place, then the nose cone is not inserted as needed. I had to tear it off and moved it by ~ 1.5 mm inward. But still, it does not fit into place as it should. Tomorrow I will cut the panel and try to fit everything as accurately as possible.

I need to move a little more, but the nose rests on the panel.

I have no doubt that you will be able make it work. Even with the arrows, I can't really tell the problem. But as they say, "fitment is exacting in detail."

It is possible that I did not quite accurately assemble the nose cone, I simply did not give it the desired shape, and therefore it does not want to be fits into its place.

Something looks way out of whack there. Kind of reminds me of the "File to Fit" program we had at Sikorsky Aircraft.

You can spot these discrepancies easy 'Z' I still can barely make out the issue.
