Els Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hello all, This is my 1:48 A-24D Wart Hind. I like A-10's and Hind's but didn't want to build either so I used a Revell A-10 and Hind to build this. This is how I built it: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=232706 Thanks for looking, let me know what you think. Els Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ecrawford2 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Ive been following this build from the get go. This is amazing. Great creativity and ingenuity. I am quite impressed. Thanks for posting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jezones Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 That is wrong in so many ways it actually looks pretty cool. I wonder if it would actually fly. Love the paint job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
runway34r Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Now that's a plane that I wouldn't mess with! You absolutely nailed the best parts of that menacing look that both the A-10 and the Hind have. Good Job!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gonzalo Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Very cool and very original great work....but why didn't you use the avenger gun from the A-10 in the nose of the Hind? That would have made it look meaner! Great job very nice work ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
warthoglvr Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Talk about "Go Ugly Early"! That's one of the ugliest planes I've ever seen . . . . . GREAT JOB!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 The only thing that would make it cooler is if the engines had the ability to rotate so it could be a Vertol aircraft. Menacing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thunderchief105 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Wow! Talk about kit bash ex-stream. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Thanks everybody. I had fun with this. Gonzalo, I didn't use the A-10 gun because it is just molded on the front of the A-10 kit. There isn't much to it. In hindsight I wish I would have used it though, I lost count of how many times I nearly broke the gun off the nose of this thing. I may go back and add it later. Bigasshammm, when I stuck the two bodies together and looked at it, the first thing I thought of was the hunter killers from Terminator. I had thought about making the A-10 engines rotateable and adding extra rotating engines coming out of the Hind Exhausts. Too bad the laziness factor kicked in at that very moment.

Els Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 Thanks, I appreciate all the compliments. I am trying to decide if it is possible to make a helicopter out of the leftover parts. Els Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plano Guy Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Talk about thinking outside the lines... Now that this concept is on a public site open to the entire globe, I wonder who will build it first? The Americans or the Russians? It's both wicked and beautiful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toniosky Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) The fusion of 2 monsters, Let's ask the Mythbusters if such a monster can fly :-) That is a brilliant idea It looks all dirty and mean, I love it ! Edited July 5, 2011 by toniosky Quote Link to post Share on other sites
