Scale model brief: Hobby Boss HB-87220 Mi-24V Hind-E

This Hobby Boss 1:72 kit depicts the Mil Mi-24V Hind-E and is tuned for display-oriented scale work suitable for collectors and experienced builders.

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.

Assembly notes for small-scale detail

In 1:72 scale, emphasis should be on clean seams, careful paint layering, and thin washes to reveal panel lines. Use high-resolution reference photos when planning camouflage and markings. Pay particular attention to rotor geometry and the tail assembly during dry fitting.

A neat, small-scale Mi-24V Hind-E that rewards patient assembly and careful finishing at 1:72 scale.
