Small scale carries fine metal perfectly well. Photo-etched parts for 1:72 helicopter models suggest what matters most: slack seat harnesses, troop seating in a Chinook cargo bay, fine grilles and aerials. Sets cover the Chinook, the crane-bodied CH-54, the Mi-8 and the Mi-24 gunship in several versions, each designed around the moulding of the kit named in the title.
In seventy-second it pays to choose brass deliberately: on 1:72 helicopter kits the biggest return comes from harnesses and the filled-in detail of open doorways, which a viewer sees first. Etch combined with masks is in 1:72 helicopter upgrade sets, and the full listing in helicopter photo-etched parts.
