In fact this assembly started at the end of 2013. Due to total lack of time (and also because of other projects) it has been going very slowly. But it will be finalized.

flarpen Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Very impressive work for sure. 👍 But for my personal taste I'm not very fond of upening up every panel on a plane or helicopter, it takes away to much of the (in most cases) good looks of the overall shapes of the subject. Unless you potray it in a dio with service going on. Just my very personal taste. /Johan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They gain hinges to have movement of opening and closing, being able to expose the model open or closed. It really is a matter of personal taste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALEXANDRE REZENDE Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Let's work on the air intakes of the turbines ... They are removable for maintenance and cleaning ... In the real part there is an overflow ejector that you don't have in the kit part ... Preparing the site ... Complementary pieces in scratch ... On-site testing ... The parts are also removable on the model ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Each pulley tooth is not cut, but pierced (like a star). After drilling around the piece (which has a central hole), I trim the ends to be straight. Thanks for the comment.

ALEXANDRE REZENDE Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 The Mi-24 has a door for access to the components of the tail section for maintenance ... This hatch has a retractable step to allow the mechanic to climb into the compartment ... In this 1/48 Monogram / Revell kit this detail is completely absent and we don't even see a simple mention of it when evaluating the fuselage halves ... But I remembered cutting this door at the beginning of the assembly ... Sewing of pieces ... Positioning ... Results... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Underdog Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Rarely am I lost for words, not being able to express myself. But, after I'd started looking and reading through this build thread, I soon realized I needed some help. So I went back to Page-1 and copied all the "superlatives" used by others, in describing the process and progress of this wonderful project. It's not everyday we have the pleasures of seeing a task such as this, performed in this upmost professional manner. And, I'm by no means an expert on helicopters. But, I do know this... "only both the Russians and Alexandre can build a Hind like this!" It would be criminal if this model didn't make it into several, Scale Modeling Magazines. So the best thing I can possibly contribute as a worthy comment about Alexandre's model is this. "He decided to start and complete a Scratch-building endeavor, and discovered along the way... he needed to add a Hind helicopter kit to it." The Underdog "Superlatives" by Others... impressive amazing Great job Beautiful work true master OMG Very impressive really sharp MAGNIFICENT very nice keeps getting better craftsmanship Phenomenal work Outstanding work Simply unbelievable master craftsman simply amazing Unbelievable truly amazing I'm stunned stunning work extremely impressive skills are second to none Just great Amazing work super skills I'm speechless.
