Hasegawa 1/72 mil mi-24 Hind A

That looks sharp. The A looks so different from the D model. Both super cool. Probably my favorite Russian aircraft.

Hi Borg,

Cool photos Stuart! Interesting to see the panel lines on a real one. Some people always say you cannot see panellines in real life or at a distance. But in these pictures they can be seen clearly. I agree that a nice Soviet scheme would look better.

It is normally the case I think, but these Hind's were probably built with iron and ship's rivets! I think a lot of the panels over my head are the engine cowlings etc. so maybe they stand out more.

Where is that museum located?

I'm wondering if that is the Midland Air Museum—those are great photos, Stuart! Borg—thank you for the tip, your work is magnificent!

Bruce is indeed right - it's at the Midland Air Museum near Coventry. It's a great little museum and I go there quite often. Sometimes you get lucky and they have various aircraft open.

I did a post about it on my blog a few weeks back; https://smallcaradventures.com/2019/04/ ... ir-museum/, and I'm going to do another soon now that I've taken a few more pictures over the weekend.

I am going to visit the UK this summer but I fear that midlands is a bit to far (I will be in the near York ). Pity because I always like to visit local aircraft museums.

Anyway, the build is finished. Final result at:

Cool! I love York - it's a stunning place and there's so much to do there, including a rather nice aviation museum just on the outskirts, so you're in luck.

Thanks for the advice! I think I can find some time to visit that museum.

It's worth it if you can - it's a nice place.
