Mi-24 Question
Posted by AdeB on Saturday, March 21, 2015 7:49 AM

Hi guys,

Sneaking over here from the fixed-wing bit with a question.

Looking to build a 1/48 Hind and unsure as to the best ones out there?

Not really fussed as to the version of the Hind, just after a pain-free build.

Thanks.

I believe that the Revell / Monogram 1/48 kit is the only game in town - not perfect, but not bad from what I read.

There was a Hind kit from one of the Chinese companies out in 1/48 about 10 years ago or so. They had a few variants out, but I have not seen it offered online for many years now. The R/M Hind is a good kit though. I built one 25 years ago or so and it still looks pretty decent to this day, even after some earthquake damage and stuff. Somebody built one on here with scratch built mods and really made it shine on one of the Monogram Mafia GBs.

The Revell kit is fairly nice. Got a spare one, pm me if interested.

If you want to dress is up a bit, Cobra Company offers a cockpit detail set, exterior detail set, 3 different weapons sets, and an MI-24F conversion set.  Cobra Company's sets are really nice.  I recommend them all.
