Mil Mi-24/Mi-35 Hind 1/72 Plastic Kit for Scale Modellers - Italeri 1432S  [IT-1432S]

Italeri 1432S 1/72 Mil Mi-24/Mi-35 Hind scale plastic model

This 1/72 plastic kit reproduces the Mil Mi-24/Mi-35 Hind in a compact format from Italeri's catalogue, presenting a small-scale rotorcraft option for display modelling and reference projects.

The Mil Mi-24, known as the Hind by NATO, is a Soviet-designed attack helicopter and limited troop transport developed by the Mil design bureau from the late 1960s. Introduced in service in the early 1970s, the type combined firepower and protection with transport capacity and served in numerous conflicts and export programmes. The Mi-35 denotes later export or modernised versions that retain the Hind layout and role.

Building tips and finishing notes

At 1/72 scale the build concentrates on neat seam work, precise rotor alignment and careful surface finishing to preserve scale appearance. Use reference photos or drawings to refine small external details. Apply thin paint layers with a fine brush or an airbrush and perform gentle sanding and seam cleanup to maintain panel definition.

A compact representation of the Hind family that suits display-oriented modelling and reference-based finishing; recommended for collectors who enjoy assembling and detailing small-scale rotorcraft.
