About product

DISS-15 container for the Mi-8MT and Mi-17 in 1:48 scale

This is a stand-alone resin accessory for a helicopter model, not a model as such. It holds the cover of the DISS-15 Doppler navigation set, in other words the conspicuous aerodynamic teardrop that machines of the Mi-8MT and Mi-17 families carry on the underside of the tail. The part is prepared for 1:48 scale.

Why reach for a resin casting

The DISS-15 cover has a softly rounded shape with a crisp transition into the skin, and detail of just that kind tends to be simplified on mass-produced plastic parts. A resin casting is made in a single-piece mold, so no parting line runs across the visible surface and the edges stay legible even under a coat of paint. On the tail of a helicopter this is a clearly visible spot whose accurate shape even a layman will notice.

How to work with the part

Separate it from the casting block with a cut from a thin saw or a sharp cutter, rinse it in lukewarm soapy water so that no mold release agent stays on the surface, and let it dry thoroughly. It can be fitted in place of the original part, and cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) holds the joint reliably. It pays to lay primer under resin, as the covering coat then holds far better than it does directly on a smooth casting.

Who the set is for

  • For modelers building the Mi-8MT or Mi-17 in 1:48 scale who want the outline of the tail to be accurate.
  • For those who like to add small castings to a production model without having to rework the whole surface.
  • For collectors of Soviet and Russian helicopters, where the DISS-15 cover is a typical recognition feature.
  • For modelers who already have experience with resin parts and cyanoacrylate glue.

FAQ

It is not. This is a single accessory part that fits onto the Mi-8MT or Mi-17 model in 1:48 scale. The helicopter itself is bought separately.

Most reliably with cyanoacrylate glue. Degrease the surface beforehand and dry-fit the part first.

It is enough to wash it in lukewarm soapy water so that no mold release agent stays on the surface, and to let it dry. Then comes the primer.

Yes, mainly in the crispness of the transition from the cover into the skin, and in the fact that no parting line runs across the top. On the tail this is a clearly visible spot.
