Just to be sure, does anyone do a 1/48 glazed nose Hind

There's no Mi-24A in 1/48, but it'll be great to have an upscale by Zvezda in the future (maybe).

where the crew sit side by side?

It was Hasegawa's pure fiction putting three crew members inside the cockpit, and two of them side-by-side...

A year ago I would have been pretty confident that Zvezda would have upscaled their 1/72 A kit. The rivet issue on the existing Hind kit and current shipping constraints, not as confident anytime soon.

Not this year, anyway. It's not on the Zvezda's 2023 catalogue pages.

 

@serendip, Marc you can get the Zvezda’s 72nd scale kit, it’ll not disappoint you: my long Work In Progress here.

I view catalogs as a suggestion. Some companies have never released a kit shown and some have released kits not listed. 

 

Good looking A kit. One of these days I will build my kit.

As say in Russia - ОБС - одна бабушка сказала - one babushka has told me?

Mi-24A in 1\72 - most unpopular from 4 Mi-24s family models  in 1\72 (Mi-35M, Mi-24V, Mi-24P, Mi-24A), its temporary out of production now, so i don't think that Mi-24A in 1\48 will release.

While I have seen decal manufacturers go back and forth….1/72 guys can’t sell 1/48 and 1/48 can’t sell 1/72. I would be hard pressed to shell out cash if one scale did bad as a manufacturer. As you are closer in both regards to Zvezda then I, I don’t doubt your assessment.
