Dan Vadas got a reaction from BETAQDAVE in Mi24D Hind by Dan Vadas - FINISHED - Halinski - 1:33 scale - CARD - Russian Attack Helicopter
Thanks guys . Popeye - the inner skin is only on those sections where the interior is visible, The other sections only have the 1mm thick framing to glue to.
Next we move to the forward landing gear bay :
The next section of framing :
Now I'm starting with the outer skins. The framing needs very careful fairing, as there is absolutely NO margin for error. Lots of dry fitting after shaping each skin was required :
The joins between sections of skin have a separate joining strip which is glued to the inner face of the skin so they line up without a step. The laser-cut frames have a recess in them to allow for this strip. These also need to be carefully faired :

The transmission took a LOT of work - 3 days worth :
Fitted to the fuselage :
I've also fitted the inner wall to the rear cabin :

With the pilot's and gunner's cabins completed (for now) work moves to the rear compartment. I "glazed" the windows with some frosted plastic cut from laminating plastic, which is 0.07mm (70 microns) thick :
Both the interior side walls are completed first :
The left wall has the door cut out to display the interior :
One of the bench seats. I used a jig to hold it for easier construction :
Next the rear wall and ceiling needed to be made and attached before I could fit the seats :
Finally, I started the upper framing :

Moving on to the gunner's cabin. More small bits - a couple of 2.5mm diameter knurled knobs :
The gunsight :
Parts fitted to gunner's cabin :
The gunner's seat was a bit easier :

The cabin is loaded with small details. These are some examples :
The pilot's seat is a bit complex with it's air rams and seat belts :
Some of the parts fitted to the pilot's cabin :

Thank you all .
The start of the build is the cabin. The laser-cut parts are perfect, much better than I could cut by hand in 0.5mm and 1.0mm card. Here is the main framing :
Two of the instrument panels. These have some very small parts. The gauge panel is laminated in 3 parts - the gauges, a very thin piece of clear acrylic from a cigarette packet, and the fascia which has been punched for the gauges :
The axe and fire extinguisher took me half a day to make :
The panels fitted to the cabin :

Dan Vadas got a reaction from kier in HMS Victory 1805 by DarkAngel - Corel - 1/98
Regarding the "Sharpie" you are using for the planking edge colouring - see if you can get one of these. It is an Archival Ink pen available from most art supply stores, Officeworks or on-line which doesn't bleed into the timber like any other pen I've tried and is also waterproof, which won't smear when you apply PVA glue. Get the "Brush" size and use the side of the nib to apply the ink.
Also - the end join between planks should also be "caulked".

A Mini-Tutorial for those who came in late - How To Cut Circles. I made four of these from double-thickness. The pics should be self-explanatory, except to say that I used a "chopping" motion with the scalpel rather than dragging the blade :
