Roland SachsenhoferThe work on the two helicopters is now far enough advanced that Mi-6 and Mi-22 start to differ; therefore I begin here the Mi-22 construction gallery. You can see that it lags slightly behind the Mi-6: the nose and tail sections are already joined, but not yet trimmed. What shines like a gel is hardened cyanoacrylate glue, which I use as a filler. There is hardly any other way of overcoming or holding these gaps together. What's more, it can be smoothed out beautifully!

Roland SachsenhoferHere are also a few new pictures of the pre-shading; it is not without reason that they are similar to those of the Mi-6. I make sure that both grow at the same rate.

Roland SachsenhoferThe condition here is similar to that of the Mi-6. The next stage on the Mi-22 will also be the landing gear assembly, followed by that of the tanks and completed by that of the extensive antenna collection.

Roland SachsenhoferHere you can see pictures of the Mi-22 in its current state of construction: Landing gear and external tanks are mounted, and the now matted surfaces show the appearance that I envision. What follows now will be a whole lot of antennas on the fuselage as well as the start of the construction of the main and tail rotors of these two helicopter giants.

Roland SachsenhoferThe Mi-22 is making similar progress and prospects for completion as the Mi-6, although the issue with the renewed windows is still clear. I'll also show you pictures of the rotors - mighty wingspan, I can only say! I will also finish these tomorrow and matt them.

BAT21Take a closer look at the cover picture - the main rotor blades do not have the black leading edge over the entire length.

Roland SachsenhoferThank you very much for your feedback! Both are motivating and inspiring: BAT21, thanks for the tip: I consulted a lot of original pictures and found the 'short' black leading edge you mentioned everywhere. So yesterday I repainted both rotors accordingly, which in my opinion also looks cooler 😉

Roland SachsenhoferThis challenging double project has now come to an end - leaving a lot of welcome space on the workbench that has become free again! 🙂 A size comparison with one of my "standard figures" or an AH-1 Cobra should help to emphasise the impressive size of the Mi-22. As you can see in the build report, this was a challenging modelling project, so I'm all the happier to be able to complete it now in both cases. The Mi-22 was a "flying command post", so the antennae, radar and communications equipment are accordingly dense.
