Caribbean Beast...1/48 Mil Mi-25 Hind-D Fuerza Aerea Revolucionaria - NEW PICS


Recommended Posts

#24/2017

My dad is not a real chopper fan, but he decided to do two iconic helicopters. First up a Hind in Cuban colours. IMO still the meanest combat helicopter with the most "fear factor".

Used a Revell USA kit edition with Aztec decals, some PE parts from the Polish company PART for the cockpit.
Regarding that the kit molds are about 30 years old the model didn´t turn out so bad. Nevertheless it would be about time for a up-to-date new Hind kit family.

:wow:This is excellent !  Comparing the original Photo of the real item and your Finished product it looks way better than i had envisioned.

Great result, well done!  That finish is beautifully smooth and your Hind looks great in those Cuban colours.

Really good looking model, and yes, very menacing, and Terrifying to many, I've spent a lot of time looking at the one at Coventry museum, and yes, still terrible looking mean machine, out and out killing machine.

Great work, an unusual scheme as well. :yes:

 

I managed to get up close & personal to a Polish Mi-24 at Pruszcz Gdanski last year, here is the business end.

Great build and I love the camouflage scheme, brilliant!

 

thanks!

the D Hinds usually have the standard sand-green or sand-brown camo, thought something different and exotic would be nice :smile:
