The Mi-24 Hind is one of the most famous and visually imposing attack helicopters ever created, a true icon of Soviet air power. This kit represents the Mi-24A (NATO reporting name: Hind-B), the very first major production version that introduced the world to the revolutionary concept of a "flying infantry fighting vehicle." Unlike pure gunships, the Hind was designed from the outset to be a dual-role aircraft, capable of both delivering devastating firepower from rockets and guns, and transporting a full eight-man infantry squad directly into the heart of a battle. The most distinctive feature of the early Hind-A is its large, angular "greenhouse" style cockpit, which housed the pilot and weapon systems operator. While this cockpit design would be replaced by the more familiar tandem "bubble" canopies in later variants, the Hind-A was the pioneering machine that proved the Hind's formidable capabilities on the battlefield.

This Trumpeter 1/48 scale model kit allows you to build a detailed replica of this historically significant helicopter. The large scale is perfect for appreciating the sheer size and intricate details of this legendary gunship. Comprised of over 260 parts, the kit accurately captures the unique fuselage and weapon systems of the early Mi-24A. A highlight of the model is the highly detailed interior, which includes a fully rendered cockpit and a complete main troop cabin. The iconic "greenhouse" canopy is provided in crisp, clear parts, allowing for an excellent view of your interior work. To ensure the highest level of detail, a photo-etched fret is also included for the finest parts, helping you create a stunning and accurate model of the original flying tank.
