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

    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.

    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 ?

    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
