Reini78 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 #24/2017 My dad is not a real chopper fan, but he decided to do two iconic helicopters. First up a Hind in Cuban colours. IMO still the meanest combat helicopter with the most "fear factor". Used a Revell USA kit edition with Aztec decals, some PE parts from the Polish company PART for the cockpit. Regarding that the kit molds are about 30 years old the model didn´t turn out so bad. Nevertheless it would be about time for a up-to-date new Hind kit family.

Buzby061 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Great work, an unusual scheme as well. I managed to get up close & personal to a Polish Mi-24 at Pruszcz Gdanski last year, here is the business end. It could certainly spoil your day!
