    This is the recent AMG Hart kit finished as a Hind. I originally intended to include some build photos with my post in the main gallery but ended up with too many. I’m posting these here as a resource for anyone who wants to build this awesome kit.

    24 attached images. Click to enlarge.

    Thanks - very informative photos! The lines on the walls are they pencil? They just add that nice finishing touch.

    Yes, Erik. I added stringer detail with a green pencil. Harts/Hinds could have had their interior tubing in silver, black, or gray. Interior metal panels and wooden structure be could be silver, gray, or gray-green. I went with gray tubing and instrument panel and gray green for the rest. I painted the fabric areas Humbrol brick red and then lightly airbrushed some heavily diluted light gray over it to simulate the red primer bleed through. The panel on the gunners floor is varnished wood, per photos. I did that with artists oil over acrylic tan.

    Interior is spectacular, John (@j-healy). Simulating the color of the fabric sides is cool.
