With micro-sol solution. It sucked the decal right into the vent .

Time for an update . I just got an e-mail from my metal castor and he said that the landing gear is done and it has been shipped !! When I get it I will post pics. My stencil guy is done and I have all of the stencils in hand. ( fuselage numbers and instrument faces ) The decal guy...

Test samples of the landing gear. I am going to try to go with all zinc . Zinc will be a stronger metal

Thanks Eddie , you have been a long time supporter of this project. Looks like I will be working on the Hind ALL WEEK LONG !!! That means that I will be getting closer of finishing the prototype. At this time you lay-away guys please make your next installments. It is almost time to start...

Well the super glued main rotor is holding strong. It is kind of hard to make out the panel lines but they are there . I need to put 2 anti static nibs on the verticle tail and I will say that the tail boom is a wrap !!!

A lot of guys have been wanting this for a long time. Here it is with my old receiver. Production will have BBI's new receiver. The gray mini does not have it's handle on it but the barrel length is to scale. I can make the new barrels to scale but I think it looks a little cooler longer.

Has this not come to light on this forum ? Pictures stolen from Small Scale Actual model ]

I finally got a chance to work on the Hind. I almost have the oust side rocket tube finished with the platform. I have finished experiment #2 for the rotor hub. This time I used 100% super glue and have the brass skeleton set up to see how it holds up. I also have the panel lines scribed...

Progress on the Hind has been real slow my real job has intensified . I am work about 6 days a week. I am so close to getting done. The tail section needs it's vent section and panel lines . The front fuse needs to be tweacked here and there and panel lines . I need to get my decals...

OK Guys after trail and error along with 4 attempts this is what I am going with on the crew door hinge system. After 4 attempts the glue spots are a little kattywompus but you get the idea .

All righty guys . I got the figure in and it will work !! I have to cut off a few tabs and it will be perfect !!! The only thing is the head and helmet are cast in one so I need to grind out the figure head. The vest is perfect and the Russians used then with/with out shirts underneath like...

Thanks . Work continues. Just spent all day working out the linkages with the clam doors. They need to be aligned a little more and I need to use a step down in hardware sizes. What I have looks too chunky. An easy fix . Now I know what I am doing I will make the other side and it...

Real work is kind of slow so I have more time to work on the Hind. I feel that if I can get 3 solid weeks worth of work on the Hind I can wrap it up . When the proto is done and mold making starts the pre production price will change to the production price . Est production price $375-...

Noted I think that I have the troop cabin done just a little tweaking here and there and it is time to start the exterior !! 5 days worth of work !!

I could use the bricks the large ones .

I am hoping to have the proto type done by the end of the month. Then it is mold making time . Remember the $300 is a pre production price . Once the prototype is done the price will go up. Yes I do take payments if you make a payment now that locks you into the $300 pre-sale.
