The IBG 1:72 3D Printed - Mi-8/17 ROTOR VIBRATION DAMPER product is a precision component created using 3D printing technology, designed to enhance 1/72 scale plastic model kits of Mi-8 or Mi-17 helicopters.
Intended Use
This set replaces the factory-fitted plastic parts of the main rotor vibration damper, offering significantly higher detail and accuracy. As a result, it is ideal for enhancing plastic models, increasing the realism and authenticity of the helicopter replica.
Key Technical Features
Scale: 1/72
Manufacturing technology: high-quality 3D printing
Enhanced detail compared to traditional plastic parts
Perfectly fits Mi-8 and Mi-17 models
Materials and Assembly
The parts are made from high-quality 3D printing material known for good durability and smooth surface finish after processing. Assembly requires cyanoacrylate (super glue). It is also possible to connect metal parts using a soldering iron if the model includes metal components. Due to the delicacy and relative fragility of 3D details, care should be taken during sanding, cutting, and fitting the parts.
Compatibility
The 3D print is compatible with a wide range of modeling accessories designed for 1/72 scale Mi-8/17 helicopters, including metal parts, photo-etched details, and additional equipment such as guns, treads, or tow cables. It can be integrated with other detailing parts to expand and personalize the model.
Handling and Painting Recommendations
Cyanoacrylate glue is recommended for attaching parts to the model.
Surface finishing can be achieved with gentle sanding using fine-grit sandpaper.
It is recommended to paint according to the original scheme of the Mi-8/17 helicopter. Suitable paints include:
Ral acrylic and enamel paints, such as RAL 7013 (brown-gray)
RAL 6014 (olive green)
High-quality model primers to ensure good paint adhesion
