The Spadgent Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Good afternoon. This RFI is a long time coming. The first of many for the year 2020 / 2021. Straddled both years but spent most of its time in 21 so here it goes. The kit was a joy to put together and I had a lot of fun along the way. Here is the WIP for those who would like to see. And for those who followed along. A heart felt thankyou for all the support. A special thankyou must go to @Nikolay Polyakov for sending me the rivets set and so much more during the winter of 2020. A true gent and I do miss him here on BM. If you're around gimmie a poke and let me know you're ok. Any way it's been long enough. Here are the shots. And that's your lot. I do hope it was worth the wait and I hope you like the way she turned out. Gotta run I have a years worth of RFI's to post up. Take care and as always happy modelling. Johnny. 71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabat Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 An impressive beast, there's certainly something imposing about the Hind. Very nicely done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an ugly beast, yet you pulled out an outstanding representation of it, with your usual masterful weathering, among all other things! Definitely worth the wait, for me Ciao 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Proper grimy! An aircraft that you can weather like a tank and it still looks right. Nice one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 That is an absolute corker of a build. Simply stunning. Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Johnny, I’m glad that you’d used most of these rivets and we finally can see the Hind in your own style. Excellent work as always, bravo! 👏 2021 was completely off-bench and slightly off-line for me because of the... music 😬 Some ideas were realized and some aren’t - as always, actually. So, I’m OK (thank you!) and visiting the Forum from time to time. I think I’ll back soon with some projects because I miss you and our forum mates and man, we’re need to build our Mi-24A - don’t you remember?! 😸 The Hind looks great: excellent colours, excellent weathering and shots! 👍 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the colour but I figured there must have been a pic somewhere and there is in my reference book. So I figured what the hell. 🤩 custard ahoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
