Hobby Boss HB-87220 Mi-24V Hind-E 1:72 plastic display kit  [HB-87220]

Overview of the HB-87220 Mi-24V Hind-E kit

Hobby Boss offers this 1:72 scale kit of the Mil Mi-24V Hind-E, targeted at modellers and collectors seeking a display-quality rotorcraft subject.

The Mil Mi-24 is a twin-engined helicopter with a five-bladed main rotor and a three-bladed tail rotor, developed in the Soviet Union as a combined assault transport and gunship. Test flights began in 1968 and initial examples were delivered for evaluation around 1970. The type entered service with Soviet forces and later with more than thirty other nations; NATO assigned it the reporting name Hind. Its design intent combined troop transport capacity with heavy weapons carriage for battlefield support.

Tips for assembly and painting

Because the kit is at 1:72 scale, pay attention to seam lines and masking for multi-tone camouflage. Use fine brushes and thin paint coats to maintain engraved detail. Dry-fitting major subassemblies will ensure alignment before final gluing.
