Wes's Mi-24V Hind Trumpeter 1/35th

[wesleye18]

well i made a start on my hind about a week before telford and bought the Big Ed set for it, I built the engines and cockpit first and painted the cockpit the Interior turquoise green and when i started adding the Colored PE to it i noticed that the colors was completely different to the paint i had used, so i had some choices, try and match the PE color and repaint the whole cockpit again. Paint all the PE the color that i had which would have kinda defeated the object of the PE really or Buy the verlinden resin set, Well i chose the resin set after seeing pictures and once i actually had it i was amazing at the amount of detail it has and also how much detail it adds to the kit, started working on the kit on Sunday and been trimming and cutting and A LOT of test fitting is needed, i've got it to a stage where im almost happy with the fit of it but needs refining a little bit more before i go ahead and start priming it all, As you can see from the pictures the detail on the set is just amazing!

1st test fit with nothing glued in.


2nd full test fit with parts glued onto the cockpit and getting the positions of stuff correct














And finally seeing what its like with the engines on and the Cargo compartment doors open

Another update on the Hind, got the resin cockpit all painted up and drybrushed and all glossed, I decided to buy a Aeroscale set of 1/32 soviet jet dial faces decals to use for the instrument panel, they look really good and are very good quality have put some more gloss over the dials to make it look like glass, also got the cargo compartment painted and the engines glued down before i paint them and got the seats painted and weathered will next start with putting a wash on it, Enjoy the pictures
