Glad you liked it! 11 hours ago, sammuel said: As always, you work is just amazing and real craftsmanship. Your landing gear bay is interesting. So is the kit landing bay completely wrong? Would you be interested in selling your templates? If so, I would like to purchase a set of your cockpit template. Thank you for the education you are giving all of us on scratch building Respectfully, Sammuel, The Monogran / Revell kit landing bay is not completely incorrect. It is only "poor" in detail and the point I commented in the last post is one of the perceived defects. In an OOB assembly it passes smoothly. Regarding the sale of drawings: Not everything in life is money! The camaraderie and respect among the members of this hobby should prevail. For the human being to evolve, it is necessary to share knowledge without financial ambitions. Send me a private message with your personal email that I forward to you the drawings in PDF (drawings) I have made (so far) of Hind 1/48 pieces. []s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sammuel Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Alex, Well said and in no way did I mean to disrespect you with the offer. I totally agree with your statement and we all should work together like yourself to keep our hobby growing and challenging our skills to improve. You are much respected in our world and will send you my email. Respectfully, Sam M. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ALEXANDRE REZENDE Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Thanks to Sammuel and midnightprowler! Next to the cockpit we have 2 compartments: the air conditioning (left side) ... ... and the GSH-30K-2 cannon housing (right side) ... The air conditioning compartment was easy to solve ... But the cannon compartment needs to be increased in the cutting area ... I thought about using the cannon resin kit, but it's not correct (it's smaller than it should be) ... Cut before ... Cut after... References: Graphics: Parts: Results: Then continue ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCAFFAN Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Very nice work but to be fair the Starboard opening is correct for the "D" that the kit represents, just not for the "F" version that you want to build. Thanks for the pictures though as I can use them to look at the new 1/72 "F" from Zvezda that is in the mail to me right now....Thanks for the informative thread...

ALEXANDRE REZENDE Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 The Hind has an ammunition drawer located on the right side of the fuselage ... I drew the piece ... I developed the mechanism that makes it possible to open and close the drawer ... As for the fuselage texture, the Monogram / Revell kit has many errors ... Compared to the actual photos of the helicopter, I opted to sanding the whole fuselage and remaking the lines of the panels ... I drew the details (based on the photos) ... Here the battery compartment hole ... Results ... Then continue ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Silenoz Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 nice work, will you also lengthen the tail? As I recall the CMK-upgrade kit provides a plug for that, and also the dimensions for the wingstubs are different... Keep up the good work... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now it is the turn of the missile guidance antenna that integrates with the RADUGA system ... Raduga-Sh version Mi-24P ... But the piece proposed by the kit Monogram / Revell is very long ... There is a lowering in the fuselage of the kit to fix it ... Removed lowering ...... Cut the piece to fit the correct size ... References on the fairing of the RADUGA system in the Mi-24D version ... Mi-24D version fairing ... Mi-24P version fairing ... Differences ... Version references Mi-24P ... Cuts and adjustments ... Front door parts ... Results ... Then continue ...

These doors can be opened or closed in this my Hind model. Gentlemen, Here's another piece of work ... I opted to install some LEDs on this model to see how it looks (many modelers have already done this on the HIND 1:48 and 1:35 scales) ... At some points I used a wiring removed from an electric coil to make them look fine ... Notice that the wiring was well hidden at that point ... I started to close some compartments that could be opened if necessary to show your details ... More readymade parts ... Tests like lowered landing gear (I used a counterweight on top until I could add weight to the nose of the model) ... What did you think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silenoz Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Looking really good, but I think it sits a bit to high on the wheels overall Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remembering that all the landing gear that I modified have "shock absorbers" with springs that will lower the model naturally as it puts more weight of the complementary components. Many thanks for the comment. []s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Wow this is just a wonderful build. My head hurts looking at the pictures. They are so detailled and shows some great modelling skills.

Chris, Thank you for the words! But do not go down because you feel you can not do the same. I believe you can do and even do better! We all have hidden potential and you should just try and persevere until you can. The results come with great patience and perseverance! []s Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ALEXANDRE REZENDE Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Gentlemen, a little continuation ... Now it's the turn of the main landing's doors. Position references when operating ... Your parts in the kit ... The density of the plastic makes it impossible to use the oval doors to close the wheels, so I chose to redo them (understand the process applied through the sequencing of photos) ...
