1:72 Hasegawa Mi-24P Hind F Turkmenistan

[Ryan Hothersall]

The Hasegawa Mil Mi-24P Hind F built in Turmenistan Air Force markings.

 

No major issues with the Hasegawa kit.

 

Colours used were Revell 50 blue on the underside, Model Master 2028 green and Model Master 2129 green on the upper surface.

 

Decals are from Linden Hill. They went on without problem.

Ryan, another nice chopper build and yet another "different" camouflage scheme.

 

  Well Done  Trev.

Are the rotor blades wrongly positioned or they are exactly just like dat. Anyway,it's  nice in the sense that your hind is the first Turkmenistan example i hv seen.

Nicely done!

Beautifully done!  The bright green is surprising, but then again I know nothing about the prototype.

I liked very much this helicopter model (especially the blue paint), and I have the same doubt about the "asymmetrical" rotor blades...

It was while gluing the blades on, I was trying to get them attached quickly before the super glue set.

 

I find that once painted, it's best to use super glue on parts like that as ordinary plastic cement has trouble sticking parts after they are painted.
