Historical Description

The Mi-24, known in the West as the "Hind", is one of the most iconic attack helicopters used by the Soviet Union since the 1970s. It participated in numerous conflicts, including the war in Afghanistan, where it gained a reputation for durability and combat capability. The RESKIT upgrade set enables you to recreate a key element of this machine – its five-bladed main rotor, the heart of the helicopter and one of the most challenging parts to accurately model.

Usage and Recommendations

This set is dedicated to intermediate and advanced modelers who want to achieve the highest realism with their Mi-24 model. Thanks to the use of resin, details such as blade mounts, hinge mechanism parts, or aerodynamic blade profiles have a significantly higher level of fidelity than those available in the base kit. Assembly requires basic knowledge of working with resin components and resin adhesives, but the final result greatly increases the value and appeal of the model.

Assembly difficulty rating: 3/5. Basic experience working with resin recommended.
