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...

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-...
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.
Thanks Digler

Proof of concept.
I am not sure but I am thinking of making 2 figures sitting down ( static ) that can be used for the pilot and WSO with helmet . You supply the head .
Or do you guys want to supply your own ?
What say you all ?
I have yet to determine the final cost . But I have them up for PRE-SALE NOW @ $300 plus shipping.
Once production starts I will be able to determine the final cost.
Est final cost $350-$450
Lots of practice !!
.jpg[/img][OK Guys ,
With lots of help from Lee Patterson I have a handle on the Hinds pilot and WSO .
Their flight helmets are similar with the 50 style American helmet. The same helmet that comes with the 104 ( I hope that I can find one )
The major difference are the...
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
]Is there any interest in the monster B8 V20 Rocket Pod ?
I think this rocket pod was added later in the life O the Mi-24 E .
I am not sure how this can be produced. It would be a lot of work cutting those tubes because I am pretty cure that they could not be casted.
I could have them as an...
Happy 4th Guys !!
I need you guys to speak up on this .

The most popular seems to be the stencil style white 20 and red 23 ( look at the...
