I have been working on the Hind all week long and may get a chance to put some pics up this weekend. Next week I need to make fix the fender on the 251 mod and make the molds and get caught up on some past orders.
I have the main fuselage roughed in along with the tail boom and wing stubs.
She is a big beast
Tall and narrow.

I need to work a half day today on my real job so pics may be delayed.
I have the back half of the turtle deck mounted and am working on the front. I also need to mounted the wing stubs and rear stabilizer.
Shapeways material is VERY BRITTEL . when I do make the main rotor blades I doubt if the plastic will take the wait of the blades and will snap off even during mock up pics .
I will address that when the time comes.
I just wish I had taken a few in process pics as I went along but focus was the main thing and I did not want to be distracted.
Jay was a life savor on this project . He shaved days or maybe even months off of the hands on build.

Wow, and there it is a Hind in the making. Too awesome for words.

Re: 1/18th Scale Mi-24 Hind Will Be a Reality ! !!
That thing is seriously bad ass!! I'm definitely in for one if I can get a full build, and someone to paint it. That part of my brain is non-functional to put it lightly.
Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid.

Holy moly, that is amazing. I have always had an interest in the Soviet War in Afghanistan, and this is a dream come true. I'll see if I can whip up some funds for this...

Thanks guys .
As far as full builds go they are always a pain.
But I do offer the service usually it is twice the price of the kit.
You pre sell guys ( if wanted ) I would add the price of the production run to your discount .

Just got a message from Jay and dispite his work load on his real job he was able to get the landing gear finished .
So in about a week or so I will have them .
Then they will be sent out to my metal caster in the Mid West so he can start making copies in metal !!!
