  1/72 Hasegawa Mil Mi-24 Hind

  Here's the latest off of my bench, a 1/72 Hasegawa Mi-24 Hind A with Ethiopian Air Force markings. The Mi-24 Hind got its first taste of combat with the ETAF during the Ogaden War of 1977-78 between Ethiopia and Somalia. The kit was built out-of-box, with the particle separators being the only extra added (from a 1/72 Monogram snap tite Mi-24 Hind-D).  ARC member Farmerboy was generous and sent me the ETAF roundels, which made this project possible. The finish is a mixture of Humbrol and Model Master enamels. Thanks Farmerboy! The paint scheme was applied freehand with an Aztek A470 airbrush. After applying the base colors, I added white to each color to add highlights as well as to fade the colors a bit. A final touch was using the dot filter technique to add more subtly to the finish (worked like a charm I must say!). After the flat coat, pastels were used for the exhaust staining. The Hasegawa kit went together without too much fuss, and the markings make for a unique build.
