Andrew Perren 953 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Hello Friends This is my just completed Zvezda 1/48 Mi-24 Hind - finished as a Hind W of the Polish Air Force Circa 2002. I've been working on this kit since it landed on my bench. The fit is very good but the detail is quite basic. I used a fair chunk of aftermarket bits and pieces. -Montex Decals -Quinta Studios 3d cockpit decals -Eduard exterior photo etch -Eduard Brassin Resin UB-32 Rocket Pods -Eduard Brasssin resin Wheels -Eduard mask set -Master metal DUAS air probe and nose gun barrels I also added all the rivets and fasteners in a recessed style with my riveting tools, added some lines to the main rotor head from lead wire. Also repositioned some of the items like the flare and the ECM antenna to under the cockpit. Paints are lacquers from the SMS / MRP & Mr Colour ranges. Here's some pics , I hope you like her. That's all for now, I hope you like her. Thanks for looking. Edited February 13 by Andrew Perren 62 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Buzby061 2,586 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 That's soooo nice, top notch modelling. Although getting on a bit I still wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of one. This is the business end of a Polish Hind taken a few years ago at Pruszcz Gdañski. Pete 4 Link to post Share on other sites
