The Revell 1/48 kit has a pretty well done box art and comes in one big pack of plastic with every sprue for the kits (some was broken of the sprue). The kit was raised panel lines which I rescribed almost 80-90% of it. The details of the kit was pretty bad but I was not determine enough to get the 1/35 Trumpeter with is better in quality, thus ending up building this 30cm heli gunship from Revell.
The inner compartment and the cockpit are built first. Tried to imitate the interior turquoise color of the Russian plane but didn't came out as the real thing. Putting up both of the halves fuselage was a nightmare because there was so many unfitting gaps. Resolved the problems by using a lot of epoxy and polyester putty.
Camo was done free handed but failed terribly, and I was happy that after a feel layer of filter the obvious painting flaws was not so noticeable.

It was a painful progress but it was worthy experience to build something out of the norm. C&C are most welcomed.
