Latest Acquesitions - pt.3

The Hind can do more than rescue a downed aircrew, it can carry an 8 man squad as well as a weapons load. It’s a pretty bad ass machine… even after all of these years.

It's taken me ages to find these - hence the late reply

You're right Carlos - ask me how I know...





My old Local museum had a Hind-D that was purchased by BAE for some planned avionics upgrades that I don't think happened. I think it was an old Polish aircraft. I said to them often that they should re-paint it in proper markings and re-fit the rotors. (I'd also like to say that I'm a good few stone lighter now.)

That's cool Stuart! I'd love to crawl around a Hind.

I don’t know…too many bulges, bubbles, etc.

Is there such a thing as an inadvertent purchase? I dropped a bid on this one and then forgot about it. Guess what?



And, these....hope they live up to the hype. Does anyone have a translation for the package wording?

Nice - 1/25?

Don't bite the wax tadpole?

AS good as any guesses I have, Stuart!

One of my To-do's this year is to learn how to rig a biplane, as there actually some between wars aircraft I'd like to build. I've got these two to practice on. I'd also like to get better at bi-plane construction.



I have built a couple of built a couple before, but neither were rigged and I actually glued everything together before paint, which isn't the easiest way to deal with them.





Cheers!

Those two look very good Stuart. I remember building the Gladiator with the same markings probably in the 80's

Thanks TJ - that would fit date wise, these old Matchbox kits were pretty good.
