HB-87220 Mi-24V Hind-E: product summary

This Hobby Boss 1:72 kit recreates the Mil Mi-24V Hind-E, offered as a compact military rotorcraft model for display and collection.

The Mil Mi-24 is a twin-engined helicopter with a five-bladed main rotor and a three-bladed tail rotor, developed in the Soviet Union as a combined assault transport and gunship. Test flights began in 1968 and initial examples were delivered for evaluation around 1970. The type entered service with Soviet forces and later with more than thirty other nations; NATO assigned it the reporting name Hind. Its design intent combined troop transport capacity with heavy weapons carriage for battlefield support.

Construction advice for 1:72 scale

At this scale concentrate on neat joins, careful masking for camouflage, and restrained weathering to avoid overpowering fine details. Check rotor blade alignment and tail geometry during early assembly stages to prevent misalignment later.

A tidy small-scale rendition of the Mi-24V Hind-E that rewards careful assembly and accurate surface finishing in 1:72 scale.
