      Great work on the main guns and rocket pylons Tony.
      And it does look very mean in black.

            Got the undersides painted yesterday , ready for masking now and the tricky top camo. The top Is a sand background with squiggly green patches , havenโ€™t decided if its going to be easier to do the green overall first then mask off the patches or do the sand first and hand paint the green . It doesnโ€™t really matter either way as the hind used masks in real life so the camo is all hard edged . Click image for larger version

              Decided to go with all over green and mask off the squiggles then apply the sand yellow. Here it is after the green , the masking of the stub wings and pylons was a bugger though , Iโ€™m expecting to have a bit of touching up to do when itโ€™s unmasked . Click image for larger version

                Hi Tony
                A lot of very skilled, patient work has gone into getting to the paint stage. That canopy glazing was a trial and I hope the masking works ok. The scratched extra detail raises this to another level.

                    Masked up and got the yellow on ( Tamiya xf60) . The masks were cut from some extra wide 40 mm tape which I stuck onto some adhesive label backing paper I saved . This means I can mark it with a pencil , cut it out with scissors and then peel it off and apply to the model. Some tricky shapes but eventually I got it all done . I think there may be some touching up but hopefully not too much , I sprayed the XF 60 quite dry so as to minimise the chance of any creeping under the tape edges. Weโ€™ll have to see tomorrow .

                      Unmasked this morning and pleasantly surprised to see I need hardly any touch ups , result! The paintwork on Hinds usually faded quite badly so next step is a light misting with either a pale beige or white to knock the severity of the colours back and soften the edges of the camo slightly .

                                Its now had a coat of klear and the decals applied. The exhausts had a big gap round the edge which on the real thing is covered by a metal ring so a couple of off centre rings were cut from tamiya tape and sprayed silver . These were stuck on and will get sealed in .Next step is a matt coat then I can see about toning the paintwork down a bit . The paint on most Hinds faded quite a bit so im going to give it a misting with some thinned beige . Meantime ive been painting the rotor head and blades and tail rotors , and getting the weapons painted.Click image for larger version
