The V\/VP Hind E variant appeared at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s, being an evolution of earlier versions. The machine was primarily used by the Soviet army and many armies of the former Eastern Bloc, including Poland, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, and by many African and Asian countries.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Mi-24 took part in numerous armed conflicts during the Cold War and modern times, including the Afghan War (1979-1989), where it served for ground support, troop transport, medical evacuation, and counterinsurgency operations. The helicopter is one of the few in the world to combine the characteristics of a combat and transport machine, allowing the carriage of a small squad of soldiers under the protection of armor and weapon support.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eModel characteristics and kit contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1:72\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eUser countries: USSR and numerous Eastern Bloc and developing countries\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistorical period: Cold War, modern times\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality plastic for detail and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDetailed elements: realistic fuselage surface, separate armament, option to build either the V or VP version\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKit does not include glue or paints\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNumber of parts: over 180, ensuring a high level of detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIllustrated instructions to facilitate assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Zvezda 7293 model belongs to the \u003cstrong\u003eplastic model kits\u003c\/strong\u003e category.
