This 1/72 plastic kit from Italeri renders the Mil Mi-24/Mi-35 Hind as a restrained scale model, intended for modellers and collectors who prefer compact rotorcraft subjects for display and reference.
The Mil Mi-24, designated Hind by NATO, originated in the late 1960s at the Mil design bureau and entered service during the early 1970s. It combined firepower, armour and troop transport capability in one airframe and saw widespread export. Later upgraded export types are often referred to as Mi-35, while preserving the Hind family characteristics.
When working at 1/72 focus on tidy joins, precise rotor assembly and surface preparation to keep scale proportions clean. Use photographic references when in doubt about small fittings. Thin, controlled paint applications and careful masking will improve overall realism.
A compact Hind kit that provides a good balance between display presence and manageable build complexity for collectors who finish small-scale rotorcraft.
