She is beautiful, great to see her with rotors in place.

Thanks, Johnny! It’s a good final of this long build.

The camo is wonderful. You can be really proud of this one. 👍

I’m tried to keep away my camera from not so good places, and as the @IGKent noticed, the colors are not correct... 😐 But I learned a lot with this build, I have some Hinds in my stash and bought the camouflage masks! 👏

 

Anyway, you’re absolutely right - I’m proud of it!

How's the kit overall fit and construction?

The fit is excellent; the kit has a wise engineering and instructions are well made. Anyway, some sub assemblies needed to be dry-fitted and some help of the sanding sticks was needed, too.

Thanks, Igor! 🤝

 

YES! The suggested colors turned out very light in the end, next time I’d prefer to mix my own. Practice, practice, practice...

You're welcome!) 

Nikolay, in Afghanistan on Mi-24th was used camo, as in Soviet Union. Base color is green-grey. 

All the best, Igor!

Upper photo this is not Afghanistan. I think that's Chechna.
