ππ Another good option is Furball Decals https://www.furballaero-design.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=48-012 Cannot go wrong with either company. -
Another great book Mason. ππ I got that and new Zulu decals. Looking forward to the next release.

Here is videos that might help. About 1:06 in he is talking about making the wet stains with semi gloss. Two other ideas are Liquidtex gloss medium or Vallejo Water Effects. In very small/thinned amounts. These might be too βwetβ of a look. You can play with adding a dull coat over to knock it down a little. HTH and look forward to seeing more.

On a paint mule or test sheet of styrene, paint the same as this project and test adding just odorless mineral spirit. You can add maybe burnt sienna oil point to the mix. To change up the spots and see how that looks.

As I recall none of the Trumpeter/Hobby Boss kits have the hind twist. A fuzzy thought is saying one of them does but I cannot recall which one. Not the 1/72 Hobby Boss Hind. Only the Zvezda kits have it. To me that is a big issue that is hard for a modeler to fix. I think there is other smaller detail issues that I donβt remember off hand.

A option is Archer rivets, Quinta Studios or micro mark. Eduard as a set for the Hind. Something like this can be used to restore damaged rivets. Not cheap or easy in most cases but do able. One thing I have used on my armor kits and a car instead of those traditional puttyβs where the filling and sanding is done is to use Vallejo putty and q-tip to fill the seem and limit damage around the area. It a more gentle approach. Limited putty, let it sit a few minutes then remove with a damp q-tip. If you need more wait, I give it day and then reapply with even less putty. Anothe

I agree. We are on the same page with our desire what we want from manufacturers. I was just curious when that is not provide, of the options generalized raised rivets, divots or naked what is next best? I feel that if they are not going to do it correctly that, maybe naked is next best option as it is the least work if one attempts to add rivets themselves. I am not suggesting that helicopter modelers should settle for less than other genres. We should be able to get accuracy in our kits.
