Why this kit matters
The Mil Mi-24 was a Soviet-designed attack and transport helicopter developed by the Mil design bureau. It entered Soviet service in the early 1970s and combined heavy weapon capability with space for carrying troops. Its unusual combination of attack helicopter and transport features gave it a distinctive place in military aviation.
The Mi-24V, also known by the NATO reporting name Hind-E, introduced a more powerful armament arrangement that included the YakB-12.7 mm four-barrel machine gun mounted in a flexible nose turret. The helicopter saw extensive combat use, including during the Soviet war in Afghanistan, and remains one of the most recognizable military helicopters of the Cold War era.
