My first post on the new forum…we’ll see if I can manage this.
I am starting the 1/48 Zvezda Mi-24V/VP Hind. I plan on doing the Hind in Czech Republic livery.
I have acquired about every upgrade set I can think of for this. This is the first time I have worked with ResKit and I have to say…WOW. The level of detail is amazing. Definetly need to test fit the parts together as most need a little sanding/opening to fit together but still, the level of detail is bar none. I typically build armor and use Legend resin on about every build I can. To me, this ResKit resin puts the Legend’s stuff to shame. It is actually a joy to put together.
This is the Main Rotor Head set with the affiliated kit parts.

My only complaint would be the photo etch. It is a little thick for my liking and hard to shape, even after annealing. On the included seatbelts, I ended up just cutting the belts themselves off and added tape.
Tape belts to replace etch belts.

I am very excited to be working on this and since I was diagnosed with COVID four days ago, I have all the rest of this week in quarantine to work on this.
My intent is to actually finish this project. That is saying a lot from me as my last build took over 8 years to finish!
