1/72 Mi-24V "Hind" Hungary Airforce, Zvezda+Eduard


Recommended Posts

I can nothing new to say about this legendary helicopter. Is it just the fact that it is well modernized version of Mi-35 "Super Hind" has a good demand and very urgent.

The work is done in 2 weeks. I used the BIG ED ​​set and wheels from the "Equipage". Made riveting and bore some holes, made ​​antenna strung ropes (from hair). Bottom rope is made from synthetic filament. Headlamp is made from «Swarovski» crystals. The front bar made from of the injection needle with etched details. Quad barrel "YaKB" is also made from the needles. Decals with stylized hind were given from Hasegawa. Paints – Tamiya, Alclad. Varnishes - Futura. The “weathering” did not made specifically, because the prototype is clean and varnish – for the parade and exhibition.

A very interesting fact. Board number is the same -714! AFAIK, Hasegawa released this decal with his ugly model many years ago. Interesting to know - when repainted this board and from what to what?

What a nice Hind you made. Actually I prefer the normal scheme like the picture above but I agree yours is sparkling.

If you can see the last "Die Hard" movie there is a green/sand Hungarian Mi-24.

Some years ago I made a grey-breen Czech Hind too but I think I will make another one later.

Thank you for sharing.

Very nice model and eye catching scheme! I've had a hankering to build a hind recently, I've read only good things about the Zvezda kit, how did you find it to build?

Very nice set. Take bold.

When I said I flew with this bird I meant that with this one! (I flew by the other ones too but it's not relevant here...)

The original paint scheme was that camo what can be seen above on the pic. This special livery painted onto this plane in 2007. summer for a Hungarian Air Show at Kecskemét city. Later the plane is flown with this colours until her retirement around 2009-2010...

This scheme symbolize an ancient Hungarian myth about a miracle stag (deer) who could be send by Gods and who did drive the ancient wanderer Hungarian hunters to their new home where they can be establishing a new homeland.

Thank you very much for this information. I know that this helicopter identified by NATO specification as "Hind". And "Hind" means "deer". It is very well matched with the ancient Hungarian legend, as a marketing gag!
