      • Includes free decals in 1:72, 1:48, and 1:35 scales • Packed with 145 color photos The Mil Mi-24, a large helicopter gunship and low-capacity troop transport, has been in operation since 1972 by the Soviet Air Force and over thirty other nations. Its design is based on the Mil Mi-8, featuring an angular greenhouse-style cockpit in original versions, while later models showcase a tandem cockpit with a distinctive "double bubble" canopy. The helicopter's body is heavily armored, capable of withstanding impacts from .50 caliber rounds, and its titanium rotor blades enhance durability. The cockpit is an even more fortified titanium tub, resistant to 37mm cannon fire. To optimize speed, the Mi-24's airframe is streamlined, complemented by retractable tricycle landing gear that reduces drag. The wings contribute significantly to lift at high speeds, providing up to a quarter of the helicopter's total lift. This Monograph delves into the details of this assault helicopter, featuring 145 color photos, many close-ups of markings and codes, along with Techmod decals for three aircraft in various scales, making it perfect for modelers. This classic series offers highly illustrated insights into the best war machines, showcasing hundreds of photographs that highlight key features, variations, and modifications, simplifying the modeling process. Additional features include decals and masking foil.

      * Includes free decals and masking foil * Packed with color photos The TS-11 Iskra is a Polish jet trainer aircraft, used by the air forces of Poland and India. It is notable as the main trainer plane of the Polish Army, the oldest jet plane still in service in Poland - and one of the most reliable. The TS-11 Iskra is an all-metal jet trainer plane, conventional in layout. Its wings are trapezoid-shaped, with the leading edge swept at small angle. The single jet engine has an exhaust under a boom with tail fin, which gives the plane an unusual silhouette. The two crewmen have ejector seats. The aircraft has no radar (apart from the TS-11R), but it can be fitted with photo cameras. This album of detailed photographs is invaluable for the modeler or enthusiast alike. About the Series This is a classic series of highly illustrated books on the best machines of war, with several hundred photographs of each aircraft or vehicle. With close-up views of the key features of each machine, including its variations, markings and modifications, customizing and creating a model has never been easier.
