New to me today, the Mil Mi 17 from Cera.

I was born on the wrong side of Germania and so had a different view of things until 1989.
The Mil Mi. 8 also came to the GDR, but this Mil Mi 17 version was no longer available. The Mi-17 helicopter differs from the Mi-8 mainly in the displacement of the propeller on the tail boom from right to left and the use of a completely new engine with higher maximum power, which positively affected the performance of the machine. But from my point of view, the point was that the Mi 17 has an internal APU. As far as I know, the armed “assault helicopters” in Russia are now a thing of the past.

Nice shots ...a menacing looking machine.

Nice !!! I just bought the same machine but their P3D release a couple of months back, love the modelling and the startup sequence is pretty interesting too. Defo not a CTRL-E experience

Visually there's nothing wrong with it, but the flight model doesn't really fit a 20t helicopter. It's too agile and it's difficult to fly it. Mr. Diehl's other version has the better flight model, but doesn't look as good.
