Apparently Post Image.org is down for good. I uploaded the images to a google folder if you would like to view them. [url]https://photos.app.goo.gl/vPYrbhHAAr95QnK23

Started today. It took me 1.5 hours just to wash the parts! This kit is amazing. I can’t fathom all of the work that went into it!

Cockpit work.

Winglets and weapons wip. Those rocket pods have been rough, I had to add some styrene to compensate for pour roots and fitment.

Cockpit WIP, I glassed the dials after I took these pics.

I had a little home time this weekend to work on it. Check out the awesome metal land gear!

Test fitting the chin turret.


This area needs some sanding when it’s all together to make it fit. My kit was missing a pod but I have requested a replacement from Pickhaube, hopefully I can get that soon.


Painting up some bits.


Some extra tires for a 222 kit and kettenkrad in there.

That's awesome! The Hind was always one of my favorite helicopters. It just LOOKS mean!

And it'll be one hell of a big model! What are the dimensions?
 
Always nice to see a military model in the mix, seems like all anyone builds anymore is Sci-fi and Star Wars models! (guilty as charged)
 
Thanks for the feedback guys. I started out as a sci-fi modeler but I’ve built quite a few of these 1:18 military kits recently.
