Dan Vadas got a reaction from lmagna in Mi24D Hind by Dan Vadas - FINISHED - Halinski - 1:33 scale - CARD - Russian Attack Helicopter
Oops, my bad . Sorry about that Pav.
Yep, I have to agree with that. However (blowing my own trumpet here ) I think my turbine inlet fascia turned out better than his. Then again, if I hadn't found his build log where he warned about the potential for error it would have turned out a lot worse . Brzdic's is the first pic, mine is the second :
Nice work on the lantern Pav.

I continued further toward the tail, completing the fin and elevators. These went together without too many dramas. I've changed my method of skinning to a certain degree. I now glue the skin together along the edges and slip it over a faired framing, doing more fairing until it's a good fit and the skin slips in easily before gluing them together :
Although it won't be fitted until the end of the build I made the tail rotor. This is quite a complex arrangement, and will be good practice for the main rotor later. Here are most of the parts :
First part is a universal joint :
The rotor arms. Wire is used for strengthening :
The finished assembly :

Wait...
i need to correct a few points.:
1, Forum is not Czech, it is Slovak. .SK part of web address suggests that (not nitpicking at all...)
2, Brzdic (his name) is not only above your skill, he has a chair in Vallhala, Pantheon, Round table and at every other place of full of mythical skills.
3, yes, he is that good...
4, reason for some parts not fitting is according to him not only fairing, but most probably the fact that he laminated parts himself, on his own stock and did not account for thickness properly. it just shows, how precise Halinski is...
dont mean to hijack your post, but id like to show what i have been working yesterday. it is by no means a quality i could compare to yours, hell no. you are quickly becoming one of the most skillful paper modellers i have ever encountered.
if you dont mind, i present my attempt at Hms Victory lanterns. One of them so far. Took me a day and needs retouching if edges.

Thank you all once again .
The next section of skins have some interesting pieces fitted to them. There is a louvered panel which took me over a day to make :
Another fun piece on the back skin :
The next section toward the tail :
The Czech guy thought he had a problem with the length of the framing, and it is actually shorter than the skin, but with the right amount of fairing the problem became obvious and mine fits perfectly. However I did make a bit of re-enforcement where it attaches to the forward section. I'm not fitting the two sections together until most of each has been completed for ease of handling. I've dry-fitted both sections together and the fit is perfect :
She's going to be BIG :

Thank you all once again .
The next section of skins have some interesting pieces fitted to them. There is a louvered panel which took me over a day to make :
Another fun piece on the back skin :
The next section toward the tail :
The Czech guy thought he had a problem with the length of the framing, and it is actually shorter than the skin, but with the right amount of fairing the problem became obvious and mine fits perfectly. However I did make a bit of re-enforcement where it attaches to the forward section. I'm not fitting the two sections together until most of each has been completed for ease of handling. I've dry-fitted both sections together and the fit is perfect :

This chopper was also featured in several movies including one of the Rambo films. (Rambo III I think). Have a look at the film for a good look at it in action.
