Hi Mates,
I have chosen an original Mil Mi-4 for this project and I have a Little "game" for you: here are two pics of ist location. Does anyone know where it is?

On the weekend I produced some openings so the engine can breathe. In the spare box I found some brash mesh that is right for the scale. The cockpit is very well designed but there is one mistake: the instrument panel kind of grows up from the ground🙂 It needs to be attached higher and closer to the seats (on the center panel). There also needs to be a firewall behind the instrument panel, otherwise the pilot could have eye contact with the engine.

Hi Bernhard, nice start, I'm tuned in!

Today was a good time for painting and decals (Mike Grant).

Fantastic details Bernhard 👍

Bernhard Schrock
Thank you! Tomorrow I will mix the correct fuselage color (faded red). The heli will be red overall...

Luc B
Tuned in! 👍

A mix of semimatt red, light grey (H128 ) and orange (H19) is close to match the original heli:

Looking at job till now, I think you will do a master piece nicer than the original!
16 February 2014, 15:13
Bernhard Schrock
A lot of different Colors and heavy weathering on the main rotor made 6 airbrush-sessions necessary in my cellar...
24 February 2014, 11:55
Bernhard Schrock
The finish aproaches slowly: most of the faded red is airbrushed and nearly all small parts are completed.

I like such projects. 👍

Wreat work! I'll keep a watch on it.

Luc B
great progress! love it
3 March 2014, 06:17
Bernhard Schrock
Have just a pot coffee to wake up and pleases me about the comments🙂 I'm watching also very much on the final result...
3 March 2014, 07:19
Burkhard D
Awesome! Will you add the green moss/algae to the finish in the end?😉
3 March 2014, 09:02
Bernhard Schrock
You notice everything Burkhard🙂 Yes, only a little bit around the cargo doors.
3 March 2014, 09:17
Bernhard Schrock
Red paint partly gone, now some green moss... Fortunately red and green are complementary colors.
4 March 2014, 20:21
Steve Wilson
Hey! Bernhard...
Coming along extremely well... Wow!!!8)

No longer a model, it's a replica 👍👍👍😉

@Burkhard...
Never a truer word said😢

Time for decals: CCCP-31449.

What should i say... Exellent work, Bernhard!😄
Its always a joy to watch your steps!

Very realistic color 👍

I like it alot!

So cool!!! The CCCP means USSR right?
6 March 2014, 22:03
Clifford Keesler
Good job.
6 March 2014, 22:26
Phil Marchese
Great approach.
6 March 2014, 23:29
Bernhard Schrock
Good morning mates, this is my first model with such heavy weathering and it's great that you like it.
Brandon; it's correct, CCCP means USSR.
Yesterday I managed to complete the left side with gear legs and other small parts; pics today evening.
7 March 2014, 04:39
Bernhard Schrock
Landing gear: trial and error, trial again and error again. More trial, more error? Just kidding. Now it is as it should be🙂
8 March 2014, 12:58
Stefan Fraundorfer
Super Detaillierung und Alterung - und das in 1:72. Das wird ein echt geiles Teil.
8 March 2014, 13:26
Klaus Pagano
Looks great; I love the weathering.
Actually CCCP means SSSR 😄
8 March 2014, 14:53
Bill Gilman
Not sure how I missed this so far, but I must compliment you. This is very nice indeed, really a spectacular job. The fact that this is 1:72 makes it all the more impressive. I think you may be like me, Bernhard, preferring to tackle a model that needs correction and extra detailing rather than a shake and bake kit. I get more satisfaction from such a project. 👍 👍 👍
8 March 2014, 15:05
Burkhard D
Bernhard, I think the front wheels swivel, so the trailing arm can be on either side. But the trailing arm should point to the rear when on the outside (exactly like on image 42)
8 March 2014, 16:12
Barry Lloyd
You deserve a coffee (or something stronger) after work on the undercarriage!
8 March 2014, 16:25
Bernhard Schrock
Sometimes the finish is really short - like today, for example🙂
9 March 2014, 11:52
Steve Wilson
Excellent Bernhard, excellent...
Now you've got to do the dio' for it to sit in😢
9 March 2014, 11:54
Dirk Heyer
Hi Bernhard.
Very nice job! And I`m surprised to see a weathered model from you!
That is a dremendous fine work.

Thx for sharing
9 March 2014, 16:11
Burkhard D
It doesn't look like 1/72 at all. Amazing! 👍👍👍 🙂
9 March 2014, 16:16
Stefan Schneider
Amazing work!
9 March 2014, 18:24
Bernhard Schrock
Steve; you can read my mind! Indeed I would like build an diorama, looks like the display of the original heli in museum in Riga.
9 March 2014, 18:45
Bernhard Schrock
Burkhard: the Homo-plasticus is very happy, if it is not obvious in which scale the model is build!
9 March 2014, 19:02
Bernhard Schrock
Stefan: thank you but I'm not done. No diorama yet.
9 March 2014, 19:03
Bernhard Schrock
Dirk: Hab großen Dank! In der Tat wundere ich mich auch selbst, daß ich mich mit der Alterung getraut habe. Hab mal vor ca. 12 Jahren eine gesuperte P-39 von Monogramm durch unrealistische Farbaplatzer ziemlich verhunzt und seit damals nicht mehr getraut.... Das Vorbild der Mi-4 in Riga hat mich von Anfang an fasziniert, gerade in diesem Zustand. Zum Vergleich finde ich die gleiche Maschine nach der Restaurierung, glänzend Rot über alles recht unspektakulär.
9 March 2014, 19:06
Dirk Heyer
Das Hubschrauber Modell ist Dir richtig gut gelungen. Einfach sehr schön.
Ich bin schier begeistert und freue mich diesen kleinen Edelstein mal original in Augenschein nehmen zu dürfen.
9 March 2014, 21:19
Bill Gilman
Bernhard, ich denke, Sie sind recht schön glänzend neue Vogel nicht so interessant wie eine müde und verwitterte alte Vogel. At mindestens das ist, was ich meiner Frau sagen wann sie klagt, über mich alt!
9 March 2014, 23:50
Bernhard Schrock
Good morning Bill. Sehr nett formuliert. Da steckt ein wahrer Kern. Nächstes Jahr werde ich 50, aber trotzdem möchte ich nicht die Zeit zurück drehen und jung sein (auch wenn die Augen nicht mehr richtig wollen und alles mir aus der Hand fällt und ich auf dem Teppich nichts mehr wieder finde...🙂
10 March 2014, 06:22
Bill Gilman
Ich habe eine Brille zu fahren, ein paar, während der Arbeit an meiner Modelle zu verwenden und ein weiteres Paar und versuchen Teile, die ich gelöscht und sind versteckt in den Teppich! Und ich bin "nur" 59 Jahre alt!
10 March 2014, 17:25
Bernhard Schrock
Hi Bill, we have a common: glasses. I have glasses because I am shortsighted. Unfortunately, for 3 years I plagued with age long sightedness (Altersweitsichtigkeit). There is an area between aprox. 25-50 cm where It is for me impossible to read neither without glasses nor with glasses🙁 My wife laughs and says my arms are soon too short to reading🙂
10 March 2014, 18:25
Burkhard D
Ha ha, welcome to the club. Have to use a magnifyer lens for modeling. 🙂
11 March 2014, 06:23
Steve Wilson
I wear glasses because I'm long-sighted...
Need them for close work, for some detailing I need further help from a magnifying glass. IF I did build 1:43 work scale like Guy Golsteyn, I'd need a Microscope as well!!! Lol (((😄 )))
11 March 2014, 06:44
Bernhard Schrock
Amazing how fast grass grows in 1:72🙂 Small parts as info sign grows more slowly.
13 March 2014, 19:52
Stefan Schacht
Hallo Bernhard, super Ergebnis, freue mich darauf alles in Heiden live zu sehen. Viele Grüße Stefan
14 March 2014, 09:19
Bernhard Schrock
Hej Stefan, freut mich! Es kommt noch Sand sowie noch paar Kleinteile wie Hüttchen, Tafel mit Exponatbeschreibung (steht schief = seeehr sympatisch) sowie diverse Schilder. Es gibt eine ganze Menge Fotos aus allen Blickwinkeln, auf den der Kleinkram und die Farben gut zu sehen sind.

Übrigens: wie geht's denn Deinem Hanomag (uns natürlich Dir auch🙂. Seit über einem Monat kein Update...
14 March 2014, 13:27
Stefan Schacht
Hi Bernhard alles bestens, in letzter Zeit war ich mehr in Segelflugverein tätig. Mal sehen, ob ich die Hanomag bis Heiden fertigkriege 🙂
14 March 2014, 14:48
Bernhard Schrock
I am getting old... One week ago I thought the heli was complete... Today while working on the diorama I noticed that I forgot the step on the left side🙂 by the way. Some of the small parts for the display (in Riga) are not ready yet.
16 March 2014, 19:41

Beautiful model and terrific photo presentation - very professional and delight to follow progress of build - The wiring is awesome!

Now the old bird from Riga and his display is complete. I have not thought that I get so many nice comments for lost paint and moos🙂 Thank you very much.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Hello Bernhard, what a imbelievable pleasure to look at your "Hound". Masterly built and skilfully set into an extraordinary scenery... I love every picture of this master-build! And, by the way, wonderful glazing of the windows 🙂
17 March 2014, 19:44
Dirk Heyer
Your chopper looks pretty and the entire szene many nice little details. The lights, chocks give them all realism.
Well done Bernhard!
Your first trial with heavy weathering was a full success. Hope you will try out something more?!
17 March 2014, 21:14

This is fantastic. Excellent stuff! I have to thank you for the tip regards Bondic for the windows. I'll have to try it out.

18 July 2014, 14:47
Bernhard Schrock
Thx!
Dutch: right you are, the original heli is in a museum.😉 (in Riga)
18 July 2014, 20:49
Dutch
Bernhard, You could bankroll your hobby by making a large display room in your home, setting visiting hours and charging admission! Of course, you would then have to hire a janitor to clean up the mess from all the visitors, thus negating any profits for modeling. Forget it! I was just thinking out loud again. R/ Dutch

Phil Marchese
Since I already have an art studio; am two blocks from a metropolitan park and museum; am in the city that is usually considered the birthplace of car modeling in the post war form of the hobby; and have an extensive collection of US WWII aircraft of somewhat unique variants; and am less than five mile from the National Park Service exhibit of steam engines, I have pondered the feasibility of such an exhibit.
18 July 2014, 23:42
Bernhard Schrock
Dutch, Believe it or not my wife said that one day she would put up a museum/shed for my planes, open it one day a week and serve coffee. You would be invited as our first guest🙂
19 July 2014, 08:07
Bernhard Schrock
Phil, what you wrote is really remarkable. I read about your modeling interests and history in your profile. If it is possible do it! We in Germany have in most cases not enough space to really display/show our work (models). I have been in "modeling business" for about 22 years and after building approx 200 models I am running into problems where to keep everything. 3 years ago I built a large glass case (unfortunately in the basement). I calculated this would be enough for approx. 12-15 years, based on my recent output-🙂

Phil Marchese
Bernhard, thanks for the feedback and interest. Yes, in USA we generally dismiss what we have for living space since the 50s. in one respect, I ve been part of a virtual model car museum; and SM is a perfect venue for builders like us. ( Thanks Tim.) Good glas cases are not that expensive...just the price of a few Hasegawa kits. They should be a priority for anyone who builds "keepers"

Just dug this one up. Fantastic.

It's great pleasure to see that you have dug up this 9 year old heli🙂. 9 years ago???? Incredible!!! I remember every detail of this project. Obviously the heli got a new coat of paint during removal.

Indeed the museum has been moved due to RIX getting bigger, but this red machine (more of a pink shade now) is still up on display!
