Re: 1/18th Scale Mi-24 Hind Will Be a Reality ! !!
Do you have any shots of the left and right side of the pilots seat in the cockpit looking rearwards to the left and right ? Jay sent HERE a very nice 360 degrees view of pilot's office. What is that apparatus hanging across the middle of the port side door ? Some type of shelf that collapses when ...

Re: 1/18th Scale Mi-24 Hind Will Be a Reality ! !!
The Verlindun picture book has a mat on the floor . I was asking the guys who are getting this kit if they want the diamond plate. To be honest, I am not aware of the Verlinden book pictures. I say again that the operational Russian Hinds I've seen, had no rubber mat or diamond anti skid plate on c...

Re: 1/18th Scale Mi-24 Hind Will Be a Reality ! !!
I have the floor worked out in the crew cabin. There was usually a rubber mat used on the floor. What do you think of me using the diamond anti skid plate on it ? @ Matthew, Few years ago, I had the opportunity to see (and shot few hundreds pics) some Russian Army operational Mil Mi-24s. As far as ...

Re: hay all. can I see pics of all of your collections
No offence, but I think that it is not proper to publicly channel gossip regarding personal problems, hard times or family affairs that a forum member might face, especially if these info were confidentially confessed into a closed friendly circle only and supposed to stay within four walls.

Re: New Mig !!
HPH models does offer a MiG-21MF (or SM) in 1/18th scale, but you have to be willing and able to shell out 2980 Euros for that model. Unfortunately, it is not available as a kit. Exactly. As I previously said: " ...around $3500 plus shipping charges... ". They used to advertise it for sale at $5000...

Re: Should I build it?
As you said, its a 50yo 1/19 scale kit. For it's time it used to be a nice kit, but considering the today's high standards on scale modeling its only a memory of how scale models used to be & looked like, half century before. In other words, its a pure vintage. If you intend to start building it, ha...

Re: Replacement Metal Landing Gear
IT looks fantastic. The issue is can the FA-18 or F-16 Falcon be displayed on the 3 D Printed material without collapsing? I'm no wizard but it has a lot to do with the durometer of the material. Needs to be strong enough to stand up but not too brittle. @ Randy Clark, I thought you said that you i...

The A4/5 were equiped with the fuselage-mounted 7.92 mm MG-17 machineguns covered with the flatter cowl. As soon as fuselage-mounted 13 mm MG-131 machineguns replaced the MG-1...

Although 3D printed models do not differ so much from ordinary kits, the plastic material may cause surprises. Some of the kit parts may feel a little greasy and appeat slight traces of oil on their surface. As I've already described into previous pages, it is absolutely normal. After the 3D printin...
