Dom_33 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Hi all, I have read all the comments and I understand that we have a Mi-24V Hind E in this box instead of a Hind D. I want to make a czech Mi-35 (which is the export name of the Mi-24V Hind E) : So I can do it. Right ?

Dudikoff Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I'd wait for a review first as they have a Mi-24V boxing coming up next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course decals I am not also sure if there are radar warning antennas 'Bieriozka' present in Trumpeter kit - this should be checked.

exdraken Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Go for a Zvezda V.... it will even look like one, and has decals;) And is half the price.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the main features of any aircraft is the surface especially when riveted or corrugated. I'd agree with you IF Zvezda included the rivet decal sheet in the box. Bulk buying would reduce the cost and sourcing issues for customers. The ILK will appeal to those enthusiasts who want detail the depressions (as on the KH UH-1* kits) make adding them much easier. By the time other areas have been detailed I'd suspect the ILK option won't look so bad after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for myself once modified a Monogram Hind to have the fuselage tilt. I really like the purposeful un-symmetry of this design! Hope to add a Zvezda V model soon to my display cabinet. ... and I do hope to see many Trumpeter Hinds as well over here! maybe I will get convinced so many schemes, such a mean looking Crocodile! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started one of those 'improvements' myself some years back. I've no idea where it's gone. I'll also wait until Trumpeter's Hind shows up on build threads before I decide for sure. Interesting times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I like the look of the Hind A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertTheBear Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Neat! Both look promising. I keep hoping for a quarter scale Super Hind (whole kit or conversion set) So far only Hasegawa touched that subject in 1/72nd and it was a limited affair, so chances of getting one of these are slim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mi-24A and Mi-24Ds till late series they had only internal tanks in use. There was no instalation for wing tanks. Hope they will add UB-32A24 rocket launchers instead of B8V20 that are in their current boxing and were not used on Mi-24A and Mi-24D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71chally Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I do like the Hind B and would love to model a late scheme Vietnamese one. I did wonder if Zvezda would upscale their early Hind, does the 48th Trumpeter Mi-24 kit feature the distinctive fuselage lean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, only the Zvezda 1/48th kit reproduces the slanting fuselage configuration. Not wanting to be a smart-bottom, but the Trumpeter kit is 1/35th (not 1/32). Cheers.
