A kit of the Soviet V-12 heavy helicopter, also listed under the designation Mi-12 and the code name Homer, in 1:72 scale. The subject is the largest helicopter ever to fly.
Responsibility details are not available.
The V-12, also given as the Mi-12 and known in the West under the code name Homer, was a Soviet heavy transport helicopter and to this day the largest machine of its kind to get into the air. It arose in answer to a requirement to carry loads that even the Mi-6 could not handle. It never reached series production and remained at the prototype stage.
Instead of one main rotor with a tail rotor for yaw control, the V-12 carries two main rotors side by side, each at the end of a wing. This layout is called transverse and it is rare on machines of such a size. Nacelles with the turboshaft powerplants sit by both rotors, the fuselage has a cargo hold with a rear ramp and the crew cabin in the nose.
Even in 1:72 scale this is a large build, because the span across both rotors is exceptional on the real machine. Before you start gluing, think about the space in your display case and the way you will mount it. The joint between the wings and the fuselage is critical, as the whole weight of the rotor heads rests on it, so try the assembly dry first and let the joints cure thoroughly. Glue the rotor blades on last, otherwise they get in the way when handling the model.
Paints, glue, filler and a stand are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
