Here
is part 2 of my Trumpeter Hind 24. First of all I would like to start of by
saying that I would have liked to include some of the build pics of this kit
where I left off from the last post to ARC but my camera packed up
So
it’s a bit of a jump to a nearly completed kit I’m afraid. Some of the parts
are loosely fixed for assembly later.

I
have never used an airbrush before so the paint scheme isn’t up to the
standards that I have seen on some of the models I see posted here on ARC, so I
hope you like my first attempt.
I
started of by giving the Hind a coat of Halfords Grey Primer and allowed it to
dry for about a day; this was then given a coat of Model Masters Sand (FS33531).
I then drew a pattern with a pencil for where the Model Masters Olive Drab
(FS34088) was to go. Remember this is the first time I’ve used an airbrush so
as you can imagine I was shaking like a frightened rabbit. (Hope it doesn’t
show) The windows are still masked off.
The
Weathering was done with Soft EarthTone pastels from a local art shop; this was
applied with a 00 series 2000 brush.
The
whole model was then given a generous if not slight rubbing over with some
Scotchbrite to give a worn look.
There
is still plenty to do and My Wife has brought me a new camera which I took these
pictures with, so I will do Part 3 Soon.
Enjoy
Spence
