CD48104 - Mi-24 "The Last Hinds of NATO"


Recommended Posts

CD48104 "The Last Hinds of NATO" will be a sheet dedicated to Polish, Czech and Bulgarian Mi-24 Hinds. The Czech options will include markings for "Kosta", the Mi-24 which was decorated to look like EV953, a RAF Coastal Command Liberator from WWII.

I will probably do this in 1/35 scale as well. Coming sometime in early 2016.

Cool idea. Unless you know something we don't I would drop the 1/48 sheet and only focus on the 1/72 and 1/32 sheets. The Monogram/Revell kit is a dog in 1/48 because there no twist and rotor hits the tail. YMMV.

What version of the Hind does the Czech Republic fly? I saw this Hind in a magazine a couple of months ago and really like it. I also have seen a Hind up close and even sat in one, way cool. Gota have this sheet when it's out.

Mi-24V/Mi-35

Actually Bulgaria isn't flying the Hind anymore but NATO-member Hungary is...

I have to eat my own words: after a long break (and an overhaul) Bulgaria is a Hind-user again...

Why not a Hungarian Hind? Just wondering.

No other reason than that I thought the Hungarians retired the type. It looks like both Hungary and Bulgaria are still flying the Hind, so I will include markings for both.

I am about to finish the design of this one - just a few elements left. The options on the sheet are:

- 2 Polish Mi-24V in the overall olive green scheme

- 1 Czech Mi-24V in the later camouflage scheme

- 1 Czech Mi-24V in commemorative RAF Liberator (EV953) scheme

- 1 Bulgarian Mi-24 (Bort No. 146)

- 1 Hungarian Mi-24 w/ F-15 kill marks (no. 719)
