IPMS19 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 - Inspired by our friend Johnny the Spadgent 1/48 and Nikolay , this is my own Hind. -I have to say that I'm very desapointed by the result, the main attraction is the riveting on which I spent many hours and the fina result is not rewarding in regards of time spent on it. - Those bloody rivets are faintly visible on the finished model and unvisible on photo which, to add of the mess, are rather blurred......I choosed avoiding pre-shading to prevent of clogging these tiny little things before painting for nuts. Coats of paint and matt varnish too thick? Irregular 3D printing? can't tell let 'us see.... - I think it is time for me to invest in a new A.P.N, this one is around 25 years old. The last three photo are from my phone...... 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigomar Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I think any paint will hide those rivets, they are so tiny. Anyway your mission was successful, time for a rest now! BTW seems like you have a new bridge outside! Seriously nice work, as usual! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I think it looks great! Rivets are probably more realisticin this scale than exaggerated! What is sn A.P.N? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotRolo Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I've been lucky enough to see one of these up close, and this is really reminiscent of the real thing. Great work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 She looks ready to fly away! Impressive modelling. They're awesome beasts IRL. We had two of them making a very low level pass over our balcony in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, some years ago. You feel very small… Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I have to admit, that first pic had me thinking for a sec: "Nice Hind, but where's the actual model?" Nice one! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
