Mil Mi-24D 1/48 Revell/Monogramm
The Revell/Monogram cockpit is badly researched, so due to this factI chose the Pavla aftermarket resin cockpit . An overall re-scribing was needed because the kit came from 1986 and doesn’t include any engraving. It was very easy to handle this with a small steel ruler and the Trumpeter engraving tool.The main rotor is a synthesis of the resin rotor correction set, scratch buildings and some of the original kit parts.
I hope you enjoy my work!

That first photo looks like it’s the genuine Mil, fantastic work! I like it a lot

Thanks mate 😉

This is a wonderful piece of work/art. Like Pedro, I thought the first photo was a real ‘reference’ shot!
‘Liked’

And I thought it was the real pic in the headline photo, too...outstanding!

I have to agree with the others, great first photo! Looked real. Great job Pascal!

hello Pascal, this is a great Hind...i love the fine details, the great paintwork with authentic colors and the kit's overall appearance, congratulations!
Pascal Klasen said on January 4, 2019
Thanks 😉 I tired some new techniques on the hind.

Beautiful work - your detailing really paid off (thought can't see the cockpit). Well done!

Amazing job. Like very much.

What do they call it... the monetary suspension of disbelief ...followed by omg. The photography is top notched too... It really helps to create the illusion and magic of seeing a Mi-24D on the tarmac. What a way to start the new year...hit the ground running for "Model of the Month". Two thumbs up Pascal.

Thanks a lot 😉 I spent so many hours on this model...

Very nice looking model Pascal and thanks for the heads-up on the kit errors. That cockpit looks awesome

VERY well done, Pascal! Like the others, I thought the 1st photo was real!
When I was in tanks, about the only thing we really worried about were these Hind Ds ( ... or a new Lieutenant with a map, of course!)
Great Hind D,, Mr. Klasen.

Now that's a winner if ever I've seen one! 🙂

Great Job!
what colors did you use?
AKAN? Hataka?
I have two Hinds in 1/48 and will build a Diorama of KHG-3 Cottbus.
Pascal Klasen said on March 27, 2019
Hey Alexander, I used a mixture of various Tamiya colors. The buff tone is XF2 + XF55 for the green XF15 with H303 Gunze

Pascal,
Nice work on this Mi-24.
It was incredibly realistic.
It's a hard kit to make yourself realistic and you've mastered it!
Congratulations!

That is a very pretty Hind. These late Monogram kits are still worth building. You did a nice job on it.
I would be interested to see a comparison between the brand new Zeveda and Monogram kit.
