ReccePhreak Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I am looking to get a cockpit detail set for my Revell 1/48 Mi-24 Hind, and was wondering which one was better, the Cobra Company set or the Pavla set? They're about the same price, once you figure in shipping to Florida. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGKent Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Understood, Larry. Czech army have this helicopters, so the CMK company does more or less accurataly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don McIntyre Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I can't really say much about the accuracy of the Cobra Company set compared to the CMK kit, but i thought the Cobra Company set was pretty nice: http://www.cobracompany.com/48001.htm There's also weapons and an external detail set: http://www.cobracompany.com/48th_scale_models.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don McIntyre Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I think that's a good choice, Larry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spruecutter96 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 For everyone's information..... A selection of Cobra Company update sets are now marketed by Lone Star Models. Unfortunately, if my memory serves me correctly, it doesn't include any of the MI-24 sets. Cheers. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Star have bought this year Cobra Company. I ordered from Lone Star twice before but never from Cobra because they did not accept PayPal or Credit Card. At least not when I last tried about 2 years back. Lonestar Website: http://www.lonestarmodels.com/ It will however take Mike a bit of time to add the Cobra sets to his webpage and it is not clear which will be relisted first. Good news for me is that international orders will be more easy IMHO. Back to the original question: I am considering the Pavla set as well but would also like to see a bit more info. Can anybody here who has either set post some pics of the parts? The pics on the Cobra Company website were a bit demanding - before the website closed completely. The same goes for the Pavla set pictures on the web. Finally there was an Eduard set which is now OOP: https://www.eduard.com/store/Eduard/Mi-24D-Hind-interior-1-48.html?cur=1&listtype=search&searchparam=hind and for the exterior: https://www.eduard.com/store/Eduard/Mi-24D-Hind-exterior-1-48.html?cur=1&listtype=search&searchparam=hind René Edit: Ups - just saw that Chris already mentioned that Lone Star lists Cobra Company - sorry.

hacker Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Mike been getting stuff in slowly and assured me that it will be added to the list as he gets it. Now having said that there been indications that he has the molds also and plans to mold parts as the orders come in. Personally l am waiting for the Ah-1G conversion in 1/48 and a few other parts. He also have some interesting stuff in hus own line as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71chally Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Out of interest, did Lone Star reissue the Cobra Company 1:48 Hind cockpit set? I've tried looking on their website, but bad layout has put me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
