Kampartiger Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Absolutely amazing Hip, the weathering is splendidly done which shows how brutal the Afghanistan's weather can be to aircraft operating in that country.

Bullbasket Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I wondered where you had disappeared to Glynn. You're a man of many talents. Lovely job on the Hip. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 A thoroughly convincing representation! Looks much 'bigger' than 1:72nd, too. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Absolutely superb Glynn!! Your modelling skills, whatever you decide to build, are truly awesome. As the others have said - it's hard to believe it's 1/72! Your painting and weathering are, once again, absolutely top drawer!! Very, very well done. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeR Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Great stuff! The Hobbyboss kit does capture the Hip's cockpit lines (it's "face" maybe?) quite nicely in comparison with older Zvezda kit. Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Photoshop that on to an 80's Afghan background and no one would be able to tell it is actually a model. Excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
