Wow!! Is all I have to say. This is a great kit and huge. I love it so far and have only looked at it in the box. Got it on a great trade. One question, what is the cockpit color. I have seen it posted here, but can’t find a match off hand. It is a blueish-green. Any ideas. Unfortunitely, will have to wait till after Christmas to start on it, I can’t wait.
congrats! can’s wait to see it finished!!
see, i don’t have space nor time nor money to get one of those big kits from Trumpeter. but i really really want one. maybe next Christmas?[}:)]
Head over to the Groupbuild section and have a look at the Hind GB, there are some suggestions for the cockpit color.
If I remember correctly there is a Model Master color called something like “Soviet Blue”.
I mixed the color using blue, green and white.
Maybe I’ll update my web-site this chirstmas, adding pics of the Hind and a MELB with figures.
I saw hind owned by private company (but for some reason it said “US ARMY” on the side) in Yuma, AZ about a year ago. The cockpit was black. It may have been repainted, I don’t think that the private Company (US Army) was the original owner.
