Michael KohlVery nice. I particularly like the AH-1. The techniques to modify/weather the paint applied at the AH-1 might improve the looks of the Mil too. Nice complementary bases. Consider covering the sides of them. The top of them is top.

Petar ŽorićThanks so much guys!
@Michael thank you for your input. References I found for mi28 allowed me to go with this "brand new" look, and i would usually gladly weather it, although, quality of the kit is lower than ah1z and I'm not sure it would benefit it, so I left it more "newish" I won't know if I made a right call, I guess, until I make another and maybe weather it. But I do think it's a better route to go. As for the bases, I do think you are right but these types of bases were something new to me and I was not sure how can I cover the sides and/or make them more appealing. And thank you for compliments! 🙏

Michael KohlYou can cover the sides with simple sheet. Veneer is an option too. More elegant would be wood profiles cut at 45 degree angles and added as a frame. But I am afraid that whatever technique you choose, the challenge will be a small gap between cover/frame and base. This is easily closed with almost any kind of stuff as long as the base is under construction. Now with the base already painted nicely it may not be that easy.
But maybe it motivates you for a go at the next project. The skills are definitely there. 🙂

Petar ŽorićHaha thanks for the suggestions. As this project is done and no longer with me, I'll have to improve upon the next one. Veneer or something similar, maybe thin sheet of wood or something like that.
