Hmmm That is quite expensive I'd say! The Zvezda one is half that on ebay and online stores. Do you have any links or at least experience with this seller??

Thomas V. Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 We' ve ranted enough about rising prices, but current Trumpeter/HB prices are beyond reason, with official mrsp set at 80€, better wait for logistical problems to subside from mid-late next year and with it main reasoning or dare I say( to larger extent) alibi for such prices to dissapear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stalal Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 With Monogram and Zvezda Hinds in the market, where does Trumpeter's Hind stand in terms of detail and quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is currently no first hand review on the Trumeter sprues, so we will have to wait. Their 1/35 Hind is just great in any respect IIRC (not sure it has the twisted fuselage though). The 1/48 kit is sadly no downscaled version as it looks. The Monogram (rereleased by Revell some time ago) is in my eyes typical Monogram. The sprues date back to a time when Hinds were not easily available to western eyes so the kit is not overly accurate. The tailboom is some mm short, the "twisted fuselage" is not present and such. But it has nice surface details for the time (like rivets), and "detailed" engines, cockpit and such. You can see sprues and instruction images on Super Hobby page: https://www.super-hobby.de/products/Mil-Mi-24D-Hind-D.html Without lots of cut-and-shut you will not get an accurate Hind out of this. But I think it will look still nice for those who are not too deeply a Hind specialist? The Zvezda (recently rereleased by Eduard in a special edition) is accurate but has no rivets and the interiar detailing is a bit low, so you should consider aftermarket help depending on your expectations. I recently bought the Zvezda sprues from Eduard when they still had them as surplus from their special edition and I have the Monogram unstarted with some resin bits from Cobra Company (weapons and cockpit). I will build the Zvezda kit but am undecided with the Monogram at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenoz Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 If you have the Revell/Monogram, CMK has an update set that fixes most issues (short tail boom, short stub wings etc, but not the warped fuselage). Recently bought the Eduard special edition, and some Res/kit interior... Now I still need to buy some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 At least this one looks more like a Hind with some rivet detail unlike the Smooth Zvezda kit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emphasis on "look like", ok. But not "is like" A plain surface is closer to embossed structure reality than representing this with engraved structures , in this case with holes. I know, an endless debate - until our beloved manufacturers come to conclude that reality CAN REALLY BE REPRESENTED by using engraved structures as well as embossed ones. Side by side, Eduard gives a proof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
