Interesting location to pixelate on the Mi-8/17.
The pixelation is probably the squadron mascot or logo.
I like the gyro-cam if that’s what it is. But how dare anyone post that image. It has nothing to do with modeling or armor. Although it may have the cheek armor - it’s hard to tell…
The gyro cam looks to be a flir system. It does appear to have cheek armor.
That would be a fairly easy conversion to do from Zvezda’s UAZ kit I posted a while back. You wouldn’t even have to be that careful with the rear panel from the looks of the picture!! I’m sure someone does PKM’s for the armament.
Edited.
I guess it could be the very same UAZ . In both cases, the air vent near the passenger door has been taped over…
Another option for the UAZ . The M60 should be easy to find

I heard it was one of their very early efforts too…

Wandering what the lad on the left has in his hand, double headed tourch,!!. And the other guy has big feet
Night vision binoculars ?
I guess the big feet are an optical trick caused by the camera lens. (or maybe this guy is an ex-clown…)
