Shanghi Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hi all, I am about to start an Mi-24 in 1/35. I have found & bought all info i can but would like to find some more info. I am an engineer on helicopters so would like to do a build that would include all the working bits under the cowlings. Problem is this will need much scratch building. Does any one on here have some close up pics & or technical drawings of the MGB & hydraulics & all other bits under the cowlings please? I would really appreciate any assistance!

Regards Shane Hi Shane, Best I can suggest is to check out Prime Portal for some pics. Are you going to modify the fuselage aft of the cockpit to replicate the "twist"? Regardless, good luck on your project, the Hind is one of my favorites. Post some pics once you get underway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shanghi Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Hi 11bee, I am not so sure about the "twist" to be honest but would like to make it fairly detailed! I have started on the cowling as best i could get them for now. Here is a pic of were i am as of today! Thanks for your support! Thanks EagleAviation, I have this book but it still has gaps were i need to see! So am really looking for something like a maintenance manual & IPC for the Mi-24 in PDF!

Thanks EagleAviation, I have this book but it still has gaps were i need to see! So am really looking for something like a maintenance manual & IPC for the Mi-24 in PDF! Looking great so far! I don't think it will be easy to locate a maintenance manual. I wish you good luck though, this is one of my favorite subjects as well! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Verlinden Lock On vol 16 covers the Mi-24W Hind E. I don't have this book but others in the series have extensive photo coverage of open panels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shanghi Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Thanks for the help guys! I have got all the reference books out there now! Still lacking the details i want! But will go with what i have for now! Appreciate the help!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'd second the Prime Portal suggestion. I'm building the pretty ordinary Italeri 1/72 Hind Mi24, entirely OOB (going to do the Czech 3 colour camo version). Aim is to do the best job I can with no scratching. Found lots of good pics on the net of various angles, but not looking for internals other than cockpit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
