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

    Thanks Guys Moving right along I have mounted the front gear. It will have to function because the wheel and strut are visable when retracted. The main gear will be plug and play and will be static.

    Kerry's M-4 / M-51 Sherman.

    I went way cheap . He supplied the 21st Sherman and gun mount. I made the shield , custom fit the gun to the Sherman deck made the rear ammo frame and extra cans and gave it a custom paint $200 plus shipping. I should have charged at least $300 Thanks guys !!
