the dragon and hasegawa kits are nice. i've seen the havoc and the details are nice it could be the same with hasegawa but not sure about the russian kit. i like the tiger tail.

The Ka-29 medyo masama ang fitting / decals only show the russian star and number that's it / daming flashing saka sink holes reminded me of the old airfix kits sa color nang plastic saka thickness pero detail okay naman daming rivets needs alot of modification. Medyo obscure lang design nang Ka-29 pero it's gonna be one challenging kit

Whew! Mas maganda ba yang Hind na yan kaysa sa Revel? Balak ko yung Revel one eh.

KA-29? Di ba Helix din yan? Alam ko may ibang manufacturers yan eh. Probably Revel ata.

Hi Blitz,
I have some photos of the Hind that I downloaded from the net. I was planning to build my Monogram Hind someday so I surfed to find photos. I can send them to you via email but they might take too long for you to download. Any suggestions?

Blitz,

Yaaaay! Choppers! I heard that the Hase Hind is really good. So you were lucky to get one. Ive built the Havoc before (actually the Italeri-reboxed Dragon kit). The detail is good, but the rotors sag too much IMO. Plus, they sag at the middle, instead of from the rotor grips. But they can be reshaped by simply giving them a massage. The problem really is that the color prescribed doesnt appear to be right. Sabagay, Russian planes naman arent really known for standardized colors.

Cant wait to see them finished, my friend.

Mas maganda 'yang Hasegawa na yan. If this is the Revel Hind you're talking about....



.... you'd better be prepared for rescribing raised panel lines. I think it's also the Italeri Hind, pareho kasi sa 1/72 Tamiya Hind e.

Ah I see... actually yung 1/48 one. Pero sige, I'll try to look for the Hase one.

thanks guys for the input really appreciate them
Bull,
if I can get the website, I can download those images.
Buck,
yes, buddy I can't wait to get my hands on them. I'll be starting with the Ka-29, OOB- kaya lang it needs a lot of filling and sanding.
