Hobby Boss 1/72 Mi-2T Hoplite Build Summary

The Mi-2T Hoplite is a rewarding subject for scale builders interested in Cold War era helicopters. Introduced in 1965, the Mi-2 became a common utility transport in the Soviet Air Force and across Eastern Bloc nations; the Mi-2T focuses on cargo and utility roles with straightforward engineering.

This 1/72 model from Hobby Boss captures the Mi-2Ts character with precise panel lines and fittings. The kit contains more than 80 parts including 7 transparent pieces to represent glazing. Two decal schemes are supplied: Polish Army "White 3802" and USSR "Yellow 38", allowing accurate period presentation.
