Alaska Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hello all! I'm new here and looking for some info on the Trumpeter 1/35 scale MI-24 Hind attack helicopter. Has anyone here purchased this kit and built it? If so could you give a review/opinion on how it went ie. Fitup/details/quality overall satisfaction or not? Thanks Guy's Alaska dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Welcome aboard sir! I don't have or know that kit myself, but I'm sure one of our more knowledgeable members will be along soon with some information for you. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Welcome Here is a couple of builds on LSP I would look into Cobra Company items for the interior http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=51177 http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=15553&hl=%2Bhind+%2Bmi-25 http://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=1944 Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phasephantomphixer Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Have one stashed and just noticed yesterday the Verlinden resin set states "1/32" on the label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Howie Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Have one in the stash and it's a cracker. I won't be spending money on resin for mine I think it's quite good as is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) Welcome to the forums, There is another Russian? interior set I saw for it as well that looked superb part also do http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/2525-135-mi-24v-hind-cabin-interior/ http://www.aeroscale.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=169305 http://www.part.pl/ http://model-art.eu/en_GB/c/135/150 Edited May 18, 2015 by TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful69 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Matt (aka DoogsATX) seems to think that there is an issue with the rotor ... anyone got the heads-up on that one - or an AM fix, if required? Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I think the main issue, which is true of all Hind kits with a 1 piece fuselage, is that the twist of the rear fuselage isn't modeled. Few worry enough to bother correcting it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Matt Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 IIRC there is something to do with the position of the engines on the fuselage when viewed from head on. I think Derek B might have been looking into it at one stage but that's going back quite a few years. 2005/6/7?? Verlinden set is OK. Various bits of PE out there to make stunning kits. Beast of a helo. Cheers Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misha71 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hello alaska I have wip here with some review. I know this helicopter well as we have it in country. If shape is important for you then i have bad news for you. It has serious problems. In my threads you will find all. It is average trumpeter model. Not bad and not good.

dsahling1 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Here's a link to a 1/35th Mi-24 build that has just about one of the best paint jobs/airbrush work that has been done. http://ricklawler-propaganda.com/propaganda/modeling-projects/1889-2/ Out2gtcha and scvrobeson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutik Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The "problem" with the "non-twisted" fuselage is that the pilot/copilots cockpit is visible listed to one side when the bird sits on the ground. Passenger/cargo compartment and engines are parallel to the ground. Whein in the air the bird will list to the other side due to the torque of the main rotor and the pilot/copilots cockpit will sit parallel to the ground, while the main fuselage is listed compared to the ground. It is visible when looking from the front. Not so much when looking from the side, not from the rear with the pilots cockpit hidden by the fuselage.
