Mi-8 / Mi-17

#72006  1/72 scale Decal sheet

Review by Steve Bamford (ARC Staff)

This decal sheet comes in 1/72 scale.  The decal sheet includes stencils for one aircrafts and markings for 10 different Mi-8 and or Mi-17's.  This decal sheet covers the Mi-8 and Mi-17 HIP from 6 different airforces including Polish, Soviet, German, Iraqi (Desert Storm), and East German and Hungarian.  The painting options include everything from a Medium Grey all over to Olive green all over to camo combinations of Medium Grey/Olive Green/Matt Ochre to Brown Yellow/Satin Orange to Brown Yellow/Dark Green combination.  The Iraqi aircraft has a very large Iraqi flag on both sides of the rear fuselage.  Also included in this sheet are markings for 2 Search and Rescue helicopters.  The quality of the sheet is good....excellent colours.....clear printing and completely in register although the stencil data for the 1/72 stencils are too small to be clearly printed and readable.  I recommend this sheet to anyone looking for interesting options to the kit decals.
