I’ve noticed that there are group builds in the aircraft and armour section, but not that many here. I have a hobbycraft mi 24/25/35 hind i painted it but havent started the building yet. I may repaint it because my tan seems too yellow.
So whos in? Who wants to build a Hind?[:)]
hmmmm…I just ordered the Trumpeter 1/32 Hind on Monday…let me see what it looks like when it comes in, and I’ll let ya know. (I may want to do superdetail mode, and want to take my time, but we’ll see what it looks like.)
Count me in on this, I have the Monogram 1/48 and the Italeri 1/72. I could build both of them at the same time. Do the 1/48 as Soviet and the 1/72 as US Army.
BTW, A special thanks to every one who helped me get the references that I needed for the US machine.
my hind is a 1/72, forgot to say that[;)]

I love hinds[:D] but have yet to see a real one.
I’ve got an Italeri 1/72 scale Hind E that’s been in its box too long. I’m in.
i think i might put mine in a diorama. taking off, or asisting some 1/72 russian tanks. or or, in kosovo asisting some canadian tanks! i could have the hind supported by a building and the tanks in the street.
This is going to be fun…
Ooooo, very tempting…very tempting indeed. I just picked up the 1/35 Trumpeter Mi-24V Hind-E a few weeks ago, plus I have a 1/72 Hasegawa Hind-F and a 1/48 Mini Hobby Models Hind-D lurking in the closet…
That big Trump Hind-E would go great in a dio with my recently finished BMP-3…
3 hinds and you haven’t started?!
so here is who we got:
kik36 => maybe
roadkill_275 =>yes
adrake2 =>yes
J-Hulk =>yes
we need more people!
Ah yes, the infamous J-Hulk waffling! I’m soooo afraid of commitment…
Seriously though, I wouldn’t be able to start till late May.
And my track record for actually building a model in a group build I’ve joined stands at a solid 0-2.
But I am VERY excited about this new Trumpeter Hind-E!
Guess I’m a solid “maybe!”
i’m not sure if we are going to get more people (sigh) [:(] this is the my fisrt group build, so when should we start?
I have the Trumpeter 1/35 scale and Italeri 1/72 scale…are you limiting the kit size?
Regards, Dan
no limit on kit size
hows this pic?:
[}:)][}:)][:-,][:-,]
Hi all
I wish I had some extra 150$ to buy the big trumpeter[:(]
Maybe someone knows where I can find a good price for it?
Anyway good luck with the group build,][i]I hate beeing a poor modeler[:(][:(]
I found it for $95.00 at www.megahobby.com (about $106.00 after Shipping) I should get it on Monday!!
is it just me or does the clone gunship in “starwars episode 2: attack of the clones” seem alot like the hind, both are heavily armed, and both carry troops.
When should we start this? i’m so exited![:D] on the hinds used in Kosovo (this is what i am painting my hind like) does anyone know a good colour for the tan parts? i baught a tan, blue and green, they all came out very close except for the tan[:(] the instructions say soviet tan, but i’m not sure who makes this colour or if it is a color.
Hind-most take the lead: I’ve stickied this topic, so now you guys have to go through with the project!
Thanks alot Lawrence Hansen!
I’m having trouble deciding what diorama i should put i in:
landing while canadian LAVs drive by (Kosovo)
landed while being seviced by russian trucks (Kosovo)
or mi-35 landed being seviced
I just recieved my Trumpeter Hind…WOW!!! Holy crap!!! And more WOW!!! It is a gorgeous kit!!! I am still in awe!! I had to clear off the kitchen table, the box is so big, and then I had to pry the lid off, and all of the sprues are still in the bags neatly packed, cause I am too shocked!!! The instruction manual is as fat as my television one. When do you want to set the stop date for?? Can we aim it for Sept/Oct region, or is that too late? I’m just curious, 'cause this one’s definately going to take some time!!! Let me know the dates as soon as possible, and I’ll let ya know if I can do it or not (though, I’m definately leaning in the “yes” region!!
i’m not sure when to stop it, i started today[:D] not sure how long it will take, but i plan to put it in a diorama so not sure when i will complete it.
i lost the joystick when i dropped it on the floor and found it when i was looking for the window which droped, had to make my own window though.
i painted the passenger compartment black, then lightly brushed it with silver, it looks very good.[;)]
also: did the hinds fly with the doors open like they do on the blackhawk and huey?
Hinds fly with only the top half of the door swung open , the bottom does not have a locking device , relies on gravity to stay in position. Yes I am a Hind builder too, I am doing the 1/48 Mini Hobby for my mates display cabinet …and can’t wait to get my hands on Trumpeter’s BIG one…yes the clone ship is almost too similar[ must be the right formula]
