NICARAGUAN MILITARY Mi-17 'HIP' REPAINTS Serial No. 318, 322, 328, and 330

September 2008

These are repaints for use with Michal Krechowski's Mi-17 AI helicopter, in the colors of the Nicaraguan military, with the individual ships Serialled as above. These paint jobs are not exact, as I couldn't do a realistic camo scheme, but the ensign and details are authentic. The real Nic Mi-17's have more brownish-tinted camo.

The model is available here:

The Mi-17 'Hip' is an important part of the Nicaraguan military. These versatile helos are still in service in respectable numbers as of 2008. They have been used for cargo transport, troop carriers, and even as gunships for COIN duties.

Looking for AFCADs, and flight plans for the Nicaraguan military? They are coming, soon.
