Eduard Mi-24/35 Upgrade Set

 

1:72 Eduard

 

 

A few months ago, Eduard released a limited edition boxing of Zvezda's highly regarded Mi-24/35 Hind. Available only as a dual combo kit with a huge choice of (mainly Czech) marking options, it quickly sold out. Now Eduard have followed up with a further photo etched upgrade set, which will come in handy if you have the Eduard kit, the original Zvezda kit or even the Revell re-box.

 

 

The set comprises a single unpainted fret which contains parts for both interior and exterior (mainly interior) of the Hind. Included are details for the cabin window frames, the electrical equipment racks and a host of small bits and bobs for the cabin sidewalls. Turning to the outside of the airframe, there are parts for the port wingtip laser designator pod, windscreen wipers, pitot tube, the ventral avionics bay door, the landing gear and landing gear bays, the ordnance, rotor head and a host of vents, aerials and other lumps and bumps. 

 

Conclusion

 

Zvezda's kit, in all its different boxings, is already very good indeed. This set can only serve to elevate it to an even higher place. Some might argue it is gilding the lily, but there is a limit to what can be achieved with injection moulded plastic and this set takes that limit as a sensible starting point. Highly recommended.
