Hobby Boss 1/72 Mi-2T Hoplite Scale Replica Description

The Mi-2T Hoplite remains a popular subject for scale modelling, reflecting the practical transport designs of the 1960s. Launched in 1965, the Mi-2 served Soviet transport squadrons and several Eastern Bloc air arms; the Mi-2T is the cargo focused variant emphasising utility operations.

Hobby Bosss 1/72 kit recreates the aircraft with neat detailing and a clear parts set for realistic glazing. The box contains more than 80 parts including 7 clear components, and decal choices for Polish Army "White 3802" or USSR "Yellow 38" finishes let builders present historically grounded liveries.

What tools are recommended to assemble this 1/72 kit?

Basic modelling tools are sufficient: hobby knife, fine files, plastic cement, tweezers and brushes. Precision and patience are important for the small parts in this scale.

How durable are the included decals after application?

When applied correctly with decal setting solutions and sealed under a clear coat, the decals will conform to the surfaces and remain stable for display models.

Can I add weathering effects to the Mi-2T model?

Yes, weathering such as panel wash, light chipping and exhaust stains can enhance realism. Apply subtle layers to keep the overall scheme believable for the era.

Where should I store the finished model to avoid damage?

Store completed models in a dust-free display case away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes to preserve paint and decals over time.
