I think I will put this on the shelf as is and may come back to it sometime afterwards....

Thanks for the support fellas, latest report... It has gone from awful to OMFG....... put the canopy on it last night and what can I say? The fit was ghastly, had to resort to spot glue and tons of putty! I took some photos but it is so ghastly, that I have seen three year old's do better...

If you can, get the AK book on the Hind, it is great, but sadly out of print

I'd like the 1/48 Helix, but I'm looking very hard at the "spinner" from Blade Runner as well as the Trumpeter 1/16 T-72, imagine a diorama with a 1/16 T-72 and 1/35 Hind together! The Hind is earmarked for an Afghanistan diorama down the track...

we don't have model shows here at all LOL.....all I ever get is "that's nice, dear"

Yeah, I hear you cobber! Aircraft are not my strong point, I'm mostly a vehicle builder, but I have a real soft spot for helicopters and I adore the Hind, I got to fly in one in Serbia/Bosnia a couple of times........LOL what I would give to own one or maybe a KA-52 Alligator LOL

This is what I'm aiming for, the naval version.

looking for uglies, just before the brush failed

My apologies, it is a "mini hobby" kit. The cockpit is very toy like, but no one will see the kit so I just added a few things out of the scrap box. The Hind H from Trumpeter has a nice cockpit, the fit is bad once again over the engine covers, and the guns don't fit well. Spent most of last...

LOL now my spare airbrush has gone tits up....what next! No I still haven't found the trigger for the other one!

This is my 1/35 hind

We can't get Zvezda kits in Australia (thanks to our anal wankers in charge). I have a one of my boys going to Turkey next month and have charged him with getting the 1/48 Zvezda Mi-35 and Mi-1, we have a heap of problems getting anything Russian here, I have to order from China!

I think this is the old Monogram kit, I use the Begemont decals or Star decals.

I'm rather embarrassed for my peers to see unfinished let alone mediocre work. but since you asked nicely LOL Image one, the Trumpeter engine bay, number two, intakes are hobby boss, number three, other side of engine bay, number four wing replacement, trumpeter wings and the flare holders from...

I got a 1/48 Trumpeter Hind for Christmas last year, wasn't really impressed with it, but it is a Hind. Somehow I managed to sit on the canopy, can't get a replacement, so I bought the 1/48 Hobby boss D/V Hind, as this was closer to the model that I wanted. The kit is most certainly old...
