I really
enjoyed working in this kit, it went together very well. The cockpit
is from Cobra Co which is very nice, but the fit is a bit of a problem.
I also used their exterior set which gives you the IR deflecters.
Most of the Hinds that were in Afghanistan during mid '80s when the USSR
was trying to keep their Soviet government in that country. Alot of
hinds were being lost do to the Mujahideen getting a hold of US made
stinger missiles that the CIA was giving them .

The decals are
from Linden Hill. On the russian star there is no white background.
Not sure why that is, Linden Hill will tell you that during late in the
Afghan war they did not have them....guess they didn't want to make a
bigger targat than it already was.
Hope you enjoy
Steve
