Brad Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 This is the Italeri kit in 1/72 using the Blue Rider decal sheet. The kit is pretty poor, with the fit and detail lacking. What I should have done was bin this one and go and buy the Hobby Boss kit, but ah well. The Blue Rider decals are pretty good. I also whipped up a small base for it to sit on. Despite the fit issues, I'm rather happy with how it turned out. I'll glue it to the base later which will hide a few of the defects lol. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Fantastic model, never say those words bin the kit I started building kits in the 1960s and then it was raised rivits not panel lines so even the worst kits now tend to be better than anything I started with anyway look forward to seeing more of your models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glatisant Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Built a few of the Italeri Hind kits. Can't say I ever found them ill fitting. Maybe it's just me. You did a superb job. Great colour scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Hothersall Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Nice build, looks good to me. Have a a few Italeri hinds in the stash and the Blue Rider sheet. I quite like their decals. What colours did you use?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick231 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Nice job on the Hind mate! As it happens I've just bought the Zvezda Hind E version and if it turns out anywhere near as good as yours has I'll be well impressed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The Hobbyboss kit is very nice, but you have made a decent job of the Italeri offering. It is always nice to see something done from less well known air forces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
