Real work is kind of slow so I have more time to work on the Hind. I feel that if I can get 3 solid weeks worth of work on the Hind I can wrap it up .
When the proto is done and mold making starts the pre production price will change to the production price . $300 PRE-PRODUCTION. Est production price $375- $425 . THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS. Is there anybody on the forum who considers themselves good at soldering ? If so please contact me.I think that I have the troop cabin done just a little tweaking here and there and it is time to start the exterior !! |

All righty guys . I got the figure in and it will work !! I have to cut off a few tabs and it will be perfect !!! The only thing is the head and helmet are cast in one so I need to grind out the figure head.
The vest is perfect and the Russians used then with/with out shirts underneath like the Americans. The Americans used their flak vests. I need to shave off those 2 tabs just under the visor . And the 2 tabs behind the visor and it will be perfect !! Anybody interested in Mr. Grumpy as the pilot or WSO for one of the figure faces |

Thanks guys !!!
Looks like I will be working on the Hind ALL WEEK LONG !!! That means that I will be getting closer of finishing the prototype. At this time you lay-away guys please make your next installments. It is almost time to start stocking up on resin and RTV. I received samples of the cast landing gear and I like what I see. He made me samples of pewter and zinc and I need to talk to him .The zinc is a little hard to drill and the pewter seems a bit soft. Too bad there is no in between. I am thinking of going with a zinc front gear and pewter main gears . I am not sure if this can be done. I will talk to my guy today about it. I also got my stencil mock ups and I need to size them to the instrument panels. We are close on the decals but are having an issue with the yellow rear rotor warning decal. So I am sending the rear boom to my decal guy so he can do his thing and size them up. Stencils: instrument faces and fuse numbers. Decals : Red stars and rear tail flash in yellow. Right now there will be slow going because I am at the finishing , detailing part of the project. Slow going with really nothing to show for it. I intend to TRY and finish the winglets today. Then I need to finish the hard points and get them tight and right. _________________ |
