Here is my recently completed 1/48 Revell Mi-24 that I've been working on since July. Built this over at John's (jeaton01) Helicopter Group Build. Amazing work going on over there... check it out if you can. I took my time because this is my first helicopter build and I wanted to make her look good... and then came the AMS!
I started off sanding down the panel lines and giving her a rescribe. Not correct as these old gals are rivit monsters but that's what I wanted to do. I then opened all the vents and grilles and shaved off the molded on grab handle and made my own from wire.
Somewhere along the lines she ended up with a Cobra Company resin cockpit, exterior detail set and weapons set. Decals came from Linden Hill.
The paint is the Russian "alternate" desert scheme. I mixed my own colors from MM enamels to give her a nice sun bleached look. I found a picture online of a bird that was so sun faded that the primer was showing through. I tried to replicate the look by sanding through the colors as I put them on.
Well, enough gabbin'! Here she is and I hope you like. I welcome all comments... good, bad or ugly!
