Homebee Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) After the Zvezda's kits, Trumpeter pulled a hind out of his hat! Trumpeter is to release in late July 2021 a 1/48th Mil Mi-24D "Hind-D" kit - ref. 05812 We can just hope it'll be a new tool kit and not just a Mini-Hobby kit variant/re-edition under the Trumpeter label. Wait and see : https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235019038-148-mi-24v-hind-coming-from-trumpeter/ Source: http://www.trumpeter-china.com/index.php?g=home&m=article&a=show&id=207&l=en Box art Mi-24V "Hind-E" - ref.0??? https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10798299 V.P.

exdraken Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Interesting boxart does this Czech display Hind really shoot a rocket out of is fancily painted smokesystem / missile launcher? At least gear is down.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's called 'artistic licence'; still, if the kit's done by Trumpeter's 'A Team', I'd forgive them the slightly odd box art! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71chally Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Interesting development. If it's done by the Trumpeter A-team and features the distinctive fuselage lean, which I believe their 32nd version doesn't (?), then this will be great and detail wise would likely beat the Zvesda kit. But no lean, no buy! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudikoff Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I presume it will at least have rivets, unlike the Zvezda kit. The tilted cabin would be a plus, but it won't stop me from getting one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each his own, of course, but in my opinion the fuselage twist is one of the definining characteristics of the Hind. For me this would be similar to saying "The inverted gull wing would be a plus, but it won't stop me from getting this Spitfire."

B.sin Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Forgive my ignorance, but could somebody please explain to me what this twist in the fuselage is on the Mi-24 helicopter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 The forward fuselage has a 2 1/2 degree twist compared to the main fuselage - it's an anti-torque measure. Cheers, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesthegringo Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I believe on the Zvezda Mi-24 thread it was discussed complete with diagrams / photos that really explained it well Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me this would be similar to saying "The inverted gull wing would be a plus, but it won't stop me from getting this Spitfire." It sure is, but for me it's not that apparent unless looking at it from upfront. If nobody brought it up on the modeling forums, I probably wouldn't have ever noticed (and I saw a Hind in a museum). On the other hand, I definitely am not buying a newly tooled 1/48 Hind kit with the level of detail roughly on par with Italeri 1/48 kits from the early 90s with the extra kick of blank cockpits and no rivets included, which Italeri even had on their 1/72 Hind kits (even if overscale).

exdraken Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Thwfuselage tilt/twist is very appearance because the hole helicopter sits/leans asymmetrically to one side.actually only the cockpit sits straight upright, all the rest is not. Also the landing gear sits differently, as do the wings relative to the ground! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.sin Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Now, it will be another month, before we see the actual plastic. Just saying. 😎 Edited July 31, 2021 by B.sin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprue shots would be good but if this is anything like the Chinook that's 'another' piece of insulation in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The early Hind -D / Mi-24D is good! Missed that aspect up until now! That gives many additional marking options over the Zvezda kit! Dufferences are mostly in targeting / nav equippment on the nose and different anti tank guided missiles/ characteristic double launchers on the outer wing pylon stations! I assume any early Mi-25/ export Hind can also be built now! Next: Mi-35M with X tailrotor and shortened stabbings and fixed landing gear please 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem to have that many parts, but perhaps not all of the sprues are shown (e.g. I see only three rotor blades shown). At least it's not a MiniHobby kit re-released.

Hope I am wrong! definitely the most boring markings they could possibly find.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudikoff Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Yeah, I wouldn't bet on the asymmetrical fuselage given how their larger kit didn't have it. This is probably just a quick downscale to provide some competition to Zvezda releases. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stakor Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Oh no!!!! Sprues are not Mi-24D but only for Mi-24E version :(. Big disappointment... http://www.trumpeter-china.com/Uploads/202106/60dac04583272.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudikoff Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Since they're also making a Hind-E in parallel, hopefully it's just an image mix-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stakor Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Not only, the fuselage is version E. They would have to have another two frames to allow making D version correctly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenoz Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Hard to make out if the rivetting is present on the pictures... Nice to see this one appear, but still wondering to pre-order or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
