Oh man, Nigel send me a real beauty for his SIG... what a great kit! This is a Revell reboxing of the Zvezda Mil Mi-24 Hind E in 1/72 scale. The detail of this little kit is just amazing. Even in 1/48 it would be great. And to top it Nigel was so "kind" to put a lot of PE in the package ;-). Fitting issues? Flash? Miss molds? No sir, the building stage is a treat, just... very small :-). Without further rambling, here are some pictures... Thank you so much Nigel for setting up this SIG and providing this fun kit! I really enjoyed building the Hind and thanks for the very welcome support and comments from you guys. I really tried to make something out of it and I hope you like the results :-) __________________ Fabian Amsterdam, The Netherlands https://www.instagram.com/vdbo76/

Fabulous build Fabian ! top marks A few more close ups of the engine and gearbox bay would be nice, and maybe a close of the cockpit looking in through the door etc. A very attractive scheme and you've made it look a lot larger than 1/72 I want this kit now ... __________________ May The Farce Be With You !

I have a question about your rotor blades is that a natural droop? or did you bend them yourself? and how did you do it if so? um...ok...so 3 questions lol __________________ Neil USA On The Bench:

The blades where actually bending all over the place. They're pretty thin and I could bend them in shape without any problems. Just used my fingers, starting at the root and working my way to the tip. I repeated this a few times and they stayed in shape :-) __________________ Fabian Amsterdam, The Netherlands https://www.instagram.com/vdbo76/
