First Look
Pavla has developed several interesting details and corrections for the HobbyBoss 1/72 Mi-8/Mi-17 kit. This release replaces the main landing gear and horizontal stabilizers in the kit.
Out of the box, the HobbyBoss kit is a nice kit, but Pavla provides some options to make your Hip even better. This set provides weighted main wheels and the lower portion of the landing gear with the struts faired over. The set also includes a replacement set of horizontal stabilizers for the tail boom as well.
If you want to update your HobbyBoss kit, Pavla has the parts to get the job done!
My sincere thanks to Pavla Models for this review sample.
