Daniel MysakLet´s get it started...
First section, as nearly always, will be the cockpit.

Daniel MysakNice to see you all following.
...went on with the cockpit, after painting all black I started with th Quinta Studios decals. They´re very nice done and easy to apply. Unlike other decals, they ned an adhesive. Quinta recommends any PVA based glue, clear coat like Tamiya x-22 or cyanoacrylate glue. I used Micro Kristal Klear and it worked very well.

CuajeteThank you for showing the "Quinta" application process, Daniel. I had not seen it before. Only once applied. Very nice result!

Daniel MysakFinished the cabin and the transmission housing. I did a heavier weathering in the cabin than in the cockpit to be shure the details are vissible later in the dark inside the fuselage.

Daniel MysakAll the fuselage main part are now put together. Overall fit is good, there are only a few spots that need some filling and sanding. The stub wings holds in position without glueing.

Daniel MysakI started adding the etched parts from Eduard. These are some nice little extra details, even if the kit is absolut okay without them.

Daniel MysakClear parts are now glued in place, the fit is very nice. I did some rivet lines on the whole fuselage to give the surface a more interesting look at the end.

Daniel MysakThe Hind is now ready for the first layer of paint, I will start with the light blue belly.

AlexanderVery cool project! I like the combination of bought and scratch-built details. Looking forward to the paintjob, looks interesting. 👍

Daniel MysakSometimes you have to do some work twice... When I started masking the blue belly, I noticed it would be much easier the other way and do the blue at the end. So I got on with the beige-grey and will do the green next. At the end I will paint another layer of the light blue.

Daniel MysakThx mates. I have to rework some little spots but overall I´m happy with the result.

Simon NagorsnikGood looking camo!
Interesting building process, looks like a lot of work

Daniel MysakThank you guys. @Jan the Quinta Decals are absolutely worth their money.

Weiter so!

Daniel MysakFuselage is now sprayed with it´s final paint layer, Tamiya TS-80 flat clear. Landing gears and main rotor are finished.
18 July 2022, 16:23
Daniel MysakI'm slowly approaching the end, external loads and rotors are now finished and just waiting for the clear coat.

Simon NagorsnikPaint job and detailing are very amazing!- Hope to see the finish soon!

Łukasz GlińskiOnce I start my Hind, I'll only use your WiP for reference, everything in one place! 👍
30 August 2022, 08:40
Daniel MysakThank you for your kind words guys. I´m glad to see the finish line and everything went smooth yet.

Daniel MysakAdded the exhaust stains using Gunze H343 soot and Tamiya xf-1 flat black. Also finished the loadout and the gun.

Daniel Mysak@Oleg I used black sprues from another kit and heated and drawed them.
12 September 2022, 05:34
Daniel MysakI think I can call it done. I will make a little, simple base with three figures to frame the helicopter properly.
12 September 2022, 18:06
Daniel MysakThanks guys👍. There's still some little work on the base to do before the rollout.

Cliff KiddGreat build Daniel!
Lots for detail for a 1:72 kits v impressed!
Love the colour scheme!
I currently building a 1:32 Cobra - the cockpit is going to be so critical to the success of the build!
15 September 2022, 16:21
Daniel MysakThanks Christian and Cliff.
@Cliff
The pit is the first critical point, most of my unfinished builds stopped way behind the pit. 🙂
But I know what you try to say. In 1:72 sccale you can easiely hide a not so perfect cockpit but in 1:32 it´s hard to cover same imperfections.

Simon NagorsnikFinally finished after such a long time!
But the waiting has paid off 😁
Finish and presentation are awesome 👏
19 September 2022, 16:34
Michael KohlYou call it done. I call it well done! Very nice details, tidy craftmanship, good paint job and weathering and a display with accessories to bring everything to life and into perspective. Was a joy to follow.

Daniel MysakThanks for your kind comments guys.(H)
@Alex the decals worked fantastic, same as the most usual decals on the market. No problem with clear coat or setting solution(Mr.Set&Sol).
