The history of the Mil Mi-24 Hind helicopter begins in the early 1970s. This design became one of the most recognizable combat helicopters of the Eastern Bloc, widely used during the Afghan conflict from 1979–1989, as well as in operations in Iraq, Chechnya, the Balkans, and Africa. It was used as both an attack and transport helicopter, earning a reputation as a versatile and reliable combat asset.

The resin wheels prepared by Armory Models feature extremely fine details such as tire tread, manufacturer markings, and a subtle “flattened” effect that very realistically portrays contact with the ground. The set is compatible with most available 1/48 scale Mi-24 kits (e.g., Zvezda, Monogram, Revell, Academy), allowing for quick and easy replacement of standard plastic parts.

We recommend this product to intermediate and advanced modelers who demand a high level of detail and want their helicopter model to stand out among standard builds. Difficulty level: 2/5. Installing the kit does not require significant skills, and the result greatly enhances your model’s appearance and collector’s value. Armory Models AW48031 is an investment in a professional finish for your Mi-24 Hind project!
