Iain Ogilvie Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 This is the plan - I've been collecting images over on Pinterest.com (a brilliant way of collecting web images for specific projects 'coz you can save any images from multiple web searches in one place for later use). If anyone else is on Pinterest and wants to connect - just shout... I fell in love with this scheme as soon as I saw it a few years back: Yes - I'll be doing the fuselage 'twist' - and looking at rivets (maybe)...

Iain Ogilvie Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Peru - the scheme used on the later Mil-35s - not just the sharks mouth - but the bright camouflage really suits the Hind IMHO - and looks *very* different Iain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy wood Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Yes - I'll be doing the fuselage 'twist' -.. Iain If anyone can do that you can. I will be really interested to see how you pull that off. I would recommend you get the PART photo etch sets. They are much more comprehensive that Eduards offerings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Progress made - interior parts assembled and initial cuts for twist made - have thought through a couple of routes but think I've got a route that will produce desired effect without too much remedial work needed. Lots of other components - tyres, drop tanks, wings etc. assembled and prepped. Part etched sets would be nice - but already have Eduard and, with a little additional work, should create an OK effect. This model won't be a 'bells and whistles' production (too many other projects to crack on with) - the main focus will be on getting it neatly built and presented... Pix at the weekend.

Navy Bird Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Wow, I'm certainly looking forward to this! But I'm surprised that Trumpeter missed the fuselage twist. No, wait, strike that from the record. I'm not surprised at all that they missed the twist. It will be fun watching you fix that one. I have the new tool Zvezda Mi-35 in the stash, and they included the twist. I think I remember reading that they were the first ones who did. Flankerman would know for sure.

moaning dolphin Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Looking forward to this one, so may just pull up a chair and get comfy, isn't it a bit out of your scale comfort zone though? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flankerman would know for sure.You're right Bill, Ken did write that in the "Real Modelling Mistakes" thread, so it's not solely a Trumpeter error!

Iain Ogilvie Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 OK - some progress: Image above - note razor saw cut on floor lower middle of image (repeated other side) - to allow interior to do the twist later Initial marks for exterior cuts: Back in a mo...

Iain Ogilvie Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 And some paint type stuff - the interior turquoise is my third attempt at matching the Eduard colour - think I finally got it!! Mix of kit and Eduard... Kit seats - straps to come: Getting busier! Interior roof - not much will be seen - doors closed... Almost ready to close up... More soon - have fun!

Col. Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Nice choice of subject and particularly so in you chosen scheme Iain. Will try to keep up with your progress on this one. This model won't be a 'bells and whistles' production (too many other projects to crack on with) - the main focus will be on getting it neatly built and presented... Really Iain- I'm surprised to hear that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
