USS_ESSESS Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hello everyone, this was a very special build for me, as it was a present for my dad. He was a pilot from 1980 till the end of the German Democratic Republic and flew first on Mi-8 and then on Mi-24. The Airframe depicted is the one from his very last Flight on September 20th 1990. Here's a photo of the original The Build: [WIP can be found here] I used the Hobbyboss 1/72 Mi-24V kit along with the Italeri Mi-24D kit (Parts used from Italeri: Pitot tube and Decals) Also used some Tom's Decals for NVA Insignia and Stencils The Base is made from Plastic sheet on a wooden board and some grass mat here are the pictures: Thanks for watching! All comments welcome Cheers Konrad 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc72 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 A very nice "Hind" (BTW: How did the crews call it in the old DDR?). I also like the display base. A base always adds a lot to a model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolay Polyakov Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Congratulations Konrad, you’re done her very accurate and with a diorama base she’s looks brilliant! 👍 I think I’ll need a some time to finish mine, and seems like a painting job will be tricky... Cheers! 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
