    1/18th Scale Mi-24 Hind Will Become A Reality !!!

    I got a little work done on the crew cabin. I was able to raise the ceiling about 1/2 inch. You can fit the figures in through the top but they will have to articulate like an Acid Rain figure to pose them. Chance of finding a Spetznaz figure to fit may be a challenge. Thanks Nick

    Thanks guys . I will be using the 9M114 Shturm V missile on the Hind E . These were used in Aphganistan . These projectiles are in a tube. So that is what you will see on the end pylons 2 inside and out side. I have one made about 95 % but I need to make the mounting bracket that holds them.
