The Madhatter 546 Posted July 13 Wish I'd known about those masks when I built mine - I might have done that scheme instead of the Czech version It's a great kit from Trumpeter - although I didn't get the step you had - that was just unfortunate for you but you recovered it nicely. Looking forward to the next update Si 1 BloorwestSiR reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to the next update Si I only got the kit after I saw the masks come out. After I bought these masks, I asked to DN do a couple of custom sets of Tiger Meet masks for a CF-18 and Mig-29UB in 1/32. The CF-18 I'm hoping to start at some point soon. As for the Hind, It has been a really great kit to put together. The step in mine is almost certainly due to the fuselage having been crushed. Everything else has just gone together very nicely.

BloorwestSiR 11,355 Posted July 13 I got the decals applied to both sides. There aren't too many fortunately which is great for me. I also started working on the forgotten main rotor. 7 BradG, Rick Griewski, Lenny320 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you do get another, I have an extra set of the canopy masks for it that I won't need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BloorwestSiR 11,355 Posted July 19 Got the rotor head all masked and painted up. Followed by the blades themselves. I painted the underside in black and the upper sides in green. Then everything was put together. At the moment the gun barrel and pitot are all that's left. I broke the Master pitot. It bent so nicely into a Z pattern so I will need to order a replacement. In the meantime, we leave for vacation tomorrow so it'll be a while before I finish.
