The Mi-24V is one of the most recognizable versions of the Soviet assault helicopter, first flown in the mid-1970s. It was widely employed by Warsaw Pact forces, including during the Afghanistan conflict, the Angolan wars, as well as numerous UN missions and postwar operations across Europe and Asia. Its distinctive landing gear layout and robust, wide wheels, adapted for landing on unprepared surfaces, require precise reproduction for a model to truly stand out in terms of realism.

This set offers not only a high level of detail (far superior to the plastic parts in the base kit) but also ease of assembly. Thanks to the use of resin and photo-etched parts, the rivets, tire treads and wheel rim details are very crisp and accurate according to the technical documentation of the original helicopter. The product is suitable for both intermediate and advanced modelers, looking for perfect exhibition-quality results.

Assembly difficulty: 2/5 – the set is recommended for modelers who already have basic experience with resin accessories. We recommend it to anyone wishing to give their Mi-24V model an exceptionally realistic touch!
