Harold55 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I just finished their Su-2 and the fit was fantastic so I have to say I would chose them hands down just based on that experience alone - but the cool box art sure helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been intending to build an accurate one ever since that scene in Hitman 47, where that felon's body is pumped full of lead by a hovering Mil Mi-24 (or was it a Mil Mi-35 in the film?). Yeh, me has... Cheers,  Unc2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their 72nd Hinds are exquisite, I will be amazed if this is anything less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlCZ Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 CZAF Alien Hind was one of best looking helo... but today nobody released decals for this particular machine.... i read a make of this marking was too difficult as decals.... But it is my modellers dream... So, i still hope. Â I was curious when Zvezda released quarter scale Hind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocoolname Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 When they say ‘spring release’ do they mean a built in mechanism or the time of year the kit is launched? And if the latter, are we using the ‘it’s actually in the factory, test shots are being refined and even the boxes are being printed in preparation’ for an actual - calendar spring release (i.e. March-June) or, say, an AMK Tomcat spring release (sometime in the next few years - month TBD) 😎😜 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stakor Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Looking at renders they are also to relase Mi-24A. would be nice to have also Mi-24D (or a conversion from Eduard...) 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delide Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) I don't know much about the Mi-24, at first it appears to me that the front canopy is not shaped bulgy/blown enough in Zvezda's renders, when I looked at more photos, it seems to me that may be 2 types of the bubble canopies on the real thing, blown and not blown??? Here is what I mean, blown: Not blown: Â Doesn't seem to be blown: Â Certainly blown too: Â Any Hind expert knows about it? On almost all pictures I saw it appears to be blown though. Anyway, I'm looking forward to this kit, hopefully it sells well so that Zvezda will bring out more of their attack helicopters!

Cheers,  Unc2 Really?? I was not sure what I want, but yes, the more photos I looked at, the more photos show it to be a blown shape. Like the renders, their previous 1/72 kit looks to be on the flat side too:   But anyway, it will be the best kit of the Hind, hopefully those with completely flat canopies will follow soon 😉  I want flat canopies too!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Uncool Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I like the blown front canopy the most, but I'm so delighted about finally having a 1/48th scale Mil Mi-24 that leans OOB without the extra surgery that I wouldn't care if it was the flat front canopy coming first. Yeh, me is...

Cheers,  Unc2 Very wise words Sir! A very good MiG-25 and now this. Let the good times roll.  This should do aftermarket decal manufacturers a power of good.
