 Finally finish the heli after gotten it from Ali a few months back. Didn't came with a box. But the manual printed the brand as "Cayi" The set includes a helicopter, a dune buggy I think  and a small broken wall/building diorama  Pros. + 8 minfigs! + The only nice looking and affordable "Hind" heli around. + Minimal stickers. Cons. - Some loose connections/bricks. - Flimsy gear mechanism (Pushing it forward will spin the rotors) - Main rotors look too short - Hinge doors too filmsy/fragile to operate - Packed in confusing numbers of bags ( Building the heli took me thru 20 bags, not in sequential order ) - Front end looks weird. - Sparse cockpit. (little or no details inside)    Although the cons outnumber the pros, the helicopter still looks magnificent. Longer and bigger than my Kazi M1 Abrams. I will definitely use the reminding parts from the vehicle and wall diorama to modified the heli. Would definitely recommend this set if you are into helicopter. |

Yeah, definitely looks like a nice model. That's why I did order it from AliExpress too, but unfortunately it was confiscated by German customs. Very bad times to live in currently, as 9 out of 10 packages I order get confiscated by German customs  This makes you want to give up your building bricks hobby ...

Did a bit of mod on the Heli, trying to make it look more like the Super Hind. Only modded the head and tail    |

Nice mod. I might consider this modification too, because I got my hind set after all. After my first order was confiscated by German customs, my boss brought a 2nd set with him in his luggage from his business trip to China ... along with the Panlos Brick "Earth Truck" :-)

Good set. You should mod the main rotor too.

Yeah, the rotor are a little short and not numerous enough. But I was only using the spare bricks from the set itself for the mod.....
It's a little back heavy.
Anyway I am saving some dough to overhaul my Leo 2.
