Zvezda 1/48 Mi-24 Hind, Croatian Air Force

I was wondering if I could make decent effect of launching flares. For this project I chose well known Mi-24 HIND, and Zvezda was logical choice of manufacturer. I decided to ditch provided decals and go with markings of Croatian Air Force [...]

ZVEZDA 1/48 Mi-8T Aeroflot Arctic Transportation

One of my favorite helicopters and I've been waiting for a long time for a decent and affordable kit in 1/48 scale. As soon as Zvezda issued this kit I had to order one. My father used to fly Mi-8 for a while (Croatian Air Force Transport [...]
