Well it ell you If or one was pretty excited when Merit came on line with their forum .
My hopes were high about them building a A-10.
But my hopes were dashed when they said " buy more stuff that we offer then maybe we will build the A-10 " .
So once again we wait.
Thanks guys !!
Looks like not a lot of love for the rocket pod but I am not finished with it.
Some good news for the project .
it looks like I found a metal caster who can cast the landing gear in pewter or white metal at a VERY reasonable price. That is real good news .
My plan is...

I have received the canopy and it looks good. Some minor issues but nothing that can't be worked out .
I am having comp issues AGAIN and am having problems posting pics.
I hate assholes who started playing with viruses .
Is there a way to make comps virus proof ?
I guess not , just...
Here is a Hind update.
The canopies are being processed now ( printed ) .
Hopefully they will be done and in my hands next week.
I have about 3 days now into the pointy rocket pod .
The rocket pod was / is a lot more challenging than I thought it would be .
Getting those oval...
No not yet we are still in the prototype mode .
I was trying to get one of the rocket pods built up but work interjected.
My 3-d guy almost has the canopies ready to print !!
3-D printing is an expensive way to go. But the cockpit that you see would have taken me about 3 weeks to build...
As far a munition options there are always options.
What the people want they will get .
I was just planning for a standard load out .
But the larger rocket pod and gun pod could be options but these things do make time to make and this will be a long project in the making.
Next to...
1. Yes the figs will fit but in order to fit them now , I had to pop their feet off. I will deepen the foot wells so this will not have to happen in the production kits.
2.Metal gear and rotor. I priced having metal gears made but it is a little cost prohibitive. So I just may do...
Here we go. After an hour of letting the paint dry it is not fully dry. The primer I used is laquer I guess I need to use a acrylic primer.
Oh well other than a few finger prints here you go.
The cockpit.
OK guys as promised time to unveil my next project .
Not sure if this should go here in the Cold War or Go into Modern. Hopefully the mods can place it were it needs to go.
As the title says it will be the Hind !!!
I already have something to show but it will be later on this afternoon...
Alright guys sorry for another HUMVEE post this is the designated buyer input post.
This is directed to guys who are actually buying the kits .
Most of the guys who are contacting me are using the PTE and 21st HUMs.
Any BBI guys out there ?
If not I will not make the kit for that...
I finally have something to show although not finished , it is close.
The turret is a complete build up . My original ( older style ) turret was way different than the new . The pintel was changed as well.
This will work on ALL HUMVEES that are on the market. Except for maybe the Maisto ...
