Hi-Decal Line
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.
