Well done

Done very well,   for me the colors are bitter but unic, I also did one equal in Monogran 1/72 (snap tite, someday I will present it), only the decals have 2 errors, first, the correct name of the Air Force is FUERZA AEREA REVOLUCIONARIA and non FUERZA AEREA CUBANA, and right tail stars are crooked,  nevertheless also I decided to apply those decals. Done well,  i Like.

Cheers

Ernest

Your opinion is always valuable Robertas.

Kia ora Robertas,

In light of your information on the Ivory Coast Mil, I have reviewed my Hinds and yes there are inperfections. Light, aerials and radar In my headlong rush to complete it I have overlooked a number of crucial details and built this as a V. This has now been corrected thanks to your insights. But these photos where sent to Tim a while ago. So I will have to post my corrected Hinds for your suctiny.

Cuban Titles

Kia Ora Ernest,

You're probly right. But looking at the photos on the Zotz decal instructions and other published photos, they all appear to be from the Cuban museum so have "museum" colours. I have not seen a good inservice pic'. But hey it looks cool.

You need see individual helicopter.

3. 1/35 Trumpeter and 1/72 Hobby Boss kits wrong desant doors open mechanism , two frames. Corect - one.

 

Building Mi-24D you need remove landing lamp, handmake Swatter radar and used Swatter missiles, other details see individual build helicopter.

Cuban Mil

I have just hunted down a sheet of the Zotz Cuban marking. What colours have you used. I only have a rather poor black and white photo of the helicopter. It may be in "museum" colours but hey the beast exists and that is good enough. I find the most vocal doubters are the ones who never build anything. Peglegg.
