The Mi-24V is one of the most recognizable and iconic achievements of Soviet engineering. Designed to support ground forces, it actively participated in the wars in Afghanistan, Chechnya, and numerous conflicts in the Middle East and Africa. In service from the 1970s to the present day, it stood out not only for its powerful armament but also for its ability to transport an assault squad.

The BIG49260 set contains a total of 5 individual upgrade subsets:

• EX705 painting masks – for precise painting of canopies and transparent parts;
• Photo-etched parts 481019 – detailed external elements (antennas, landing gear details, armaments);
• Photo-etched parts 481020 – cargo/passenger cabin entry and interior details;
• Photo-etched parts 491097 – cockpit interior components, gauges, instrument panels;
• STEEL FE1098 seatbelts – flexible, realistically crafted crew seatbelts made of thin stainless steel.

Each component is made from high-quality stainless steel and photo-etched brass, ensuring excellent reproduction of even the finest details and high durability during both assembly and use of the model.

Difficulty level: 4/5 – the set is dedicated to intermediate and advanced modelers who want to replicate the Mi-24V helicopter to the highest standard.

I highly recommend this set to all fans of military aviation and enthusiasts of Cold War and modern conflict dioramas. Thanks to Eduard BIG49260, your Mi-24V replica will gain a unique, authentic appearance, standing out distinctly from standard out-of-the-box models.
