• 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.
