1/48 Zvezda Mi-24W Hind Polish Air Force


Recommended Posts

Hi all

Posting this here for the rotorheads rather than finished models.

 

I've been working on this kit since it landed on my bench.  The fit is very good but the detail is quite basic.  I used a fair chunk of aftermarket bits and pieces.

-Montex Decals

-Quinta Studios 3d cockpit decals

-Eduard exterior photo etch

-Eduard Brassin Resin UB-32 Rocket Pods

-Eduard Brasssin resin Wheels

-Eduard mask set

-Master metal DUAS air probe and nose gun barrels

 

I also added all the rivets and fasteners in a recessed style with my riveting tools, added some lines to the main rotor head from lead wire.  Also repositioned some of the items like the flare and the ECM antenna to under the cockpit.

Paints are lacquers from the SMS / MRP & Mr Colour ranges.

Looks great. You have any in progress photos? Any build issues for folks to look out for?


thanks Tank.  I’ll see if I have any worthy in progress shots on my phone and post later if so. 
 No build issues to speak of.  The sections designed to be open, fit well closed for a nice change.  The multi part clear sections to build up the double bubble canopy are a bit daunting at first. Fit is good enough to work with.

cheers.

GTG, thanks and look forward to seeing any in progress photos you have. Still on fence about getting the kit since I have the Revell kit on hand.
