Mil Mi-8 Helicopter - Zvezda 4828 - 1/48 - Superdetailed model build

Manuel Guajardo builds a 1/48 Zvezda, Mil Mi-8MT. He chose a snazzy, orange Russian scheme, even though several foreign Mi-17 alternatives tempted him. It has been a hot minute since our last superdetailed model aircraft episode, with our most recent one being Tom's Zvezda Mil Mi-24V.

Manuel will walk us through superdetailing the interior, opening up various paneling and the engines, and adding important details not included in the kit such as a deployed winch.
