2021 Czech "Tiger" Hind up close

[upnorth]

Today, I was out at the IDET defense and security exhibition in Brno, Czech Republic and got a chance to get up close to the latest "Tiger" scheme on a Czech air force Mi-24/35 helicopter.

The squadron that operates the helicopter is a descendant of 311 Squadron, one of the Czechoslovak squadrons in the Royal Air Force during World War Two, this year marks the 80th anniversary of its founding. 

311 was a bomber squadron and the current scheme incorporates the two bomber types the unit flew in the war: a Vickers Wellington and a Consolidated Liberator.

Thanks for the great photos!

 

Not sure if I really like the scheme... the blue is so blue.....

 

but as I understand it, the old special scheme in white with Liberator markings was hard to recocgnise or explain but to the most hard-core enthusiasts!

OMG... that is just So 3 Dimensional  looking scheme if ever there was one.

It looks most IMPRESSIVE. 

thank you for the photos.

Appreciate your efforts.

Easily one of the best Hind special-schemes there is. I would love to see it in the UK sometime next year. 

 

Thanks for sharing with us.

Absolutely stunning artwork and great to see a nod to the Unit's history. Thanks for sharing.

European (or elsewhere) decal makers... Can we have this in 1/35th scale, please? Pretty please?
