Thanks Digler,
I will look into that .
This is a call out to all of you Russian experts.
I am trying to get my order of paint in for the full builds .
So I need to know the exact paint colors that I will need.
I know Ammo of Mig has the cockpit colors kit and I will be using that.
They...
Hey Guys ,
I think that I may have tackled the one thing I have been worrying about since I have started this project.
The main rotor hub.
I know that the resin that I use would not be strong enough to hold the blades up . So I have been working on a skeleton that would.
I have no skills at...

Ok Guys,
Here it is in black and white . This was my guess on the final materials tally with 23 units sold at the time.
R and D books --------------------------------------$ 100
3 x 1/35 Trumpeter kits ----------------------------$280

*Re: 1/18th Scale Mi-24 Hind Prototype Done !!!!!!!!!!! !!
Finally after a month , progress.
I just used 10 gallons of RTV ( I ran out ) and all of the molds for the big pieces are made !!
I am hoping that 4 more gallons of RTV will be enough.
The molds for the main fuselage are huge...
Hey Guys ,
Here is a little update on the Hind.
I have sent all of the final small parts to Daremo ( all 109 ) of them.
That meens that he will have to make 3,488 parts !!!
I have all of the big parts , probably 50 parts .
I will be using aprx 12 gallons of RTV and making over...
Is there Any Interest In Concrete Barriers
What would be a good price do you all think ?
This would be a quick and easy project plus it will put to use left over resin while doing Hind pours
:wink: :wink: :wink:
Or are they being made already ...
Yes it sure is !!!!!!!!!!!
Well after 2 and a half years the proto is done here it is guys.

All right guys after about 2 years and 6 months . I think that I have the prototype done .
Except the rear fuselage .... I dropped it and one of the antennas popped off and flew into oblivion and the rear rotor broke.
After I make this piece AGAIN and repair the rotor I will make final...
Thank you Hellpop
Alright guys that is it .
Bird Dog got the last kit @ $300
In reality all I ordered of the landing gear , decals and stickers was 30 . I now have to make re-orders of those parts .
Price is now at $400 and full builds will be $800 unless we talked before the price increase...
Well I fixed the intake issue . I just need to tweak the crease between the nacels right at the rings and it is fixed .
I also cut down the filters. Jay copied the filter just as Trumpeter had it.
They made it more like a light bulb.
It needed to be more like a mushroom.
Cut down...
ASAP
I have enlisted Daremo to come in on this project.
His casting abilities are excellent and he will be casting the smaller pieces.
This will cut the work load in half .
OK Guys ,
This is it . I have 29 sets sold and one more to hit 30 .
So the count down starts today and will run till next Monday.
The presale is at $300 and $700 for a full build now , plus shipping .
After next Monday the Price will be $400 and full builds will be $800 .
$100...
Well , I changed it . I am not quite done with it.
I spliced the two collar rings together and fan cut the cowling so they can crimp together adjusting to the inward move.
I have the first application of putty on it and will probably have to sand and repeat at least a couple of times ...
HELP !!!! I NEED HELP !!!!!!!
Stuart just sent me 2 excellent pics of the Hind . Looking at them I discovered a MAJOR FLAW in the Trumpeter kit . In the real Hind the intake cowlings are shaved in the middle and are touching. The Trumpeters are totally separate . This just messes everything...
