Hobby Boss Mi-24V Hind-E HB-87220: kit overview

This 1:72 plastic model kit from Hobby Boss represents the Mil Mi-24V Hind-E and is presented as a display-oriented military rotorcraft kit for scale modelers and collectors.

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.

Model context and builder notes

At 1:72 scale the kit is best suited to builders emphasising external accuracy, paintwork, and fine weathering. Reference photos and line drawings help refine paint schemes and markings. Check the airframe profile and rotor planform against references; work carefully on seams and apply thin coats of paint to keep engraved panel lines crisp.

A compact representation of the Mi-24V Hind-E that will reward modelers who prioritise external finish and accurate paintwork at 1:72 scale.
