Mil Mi24E...
This is the Hasegawa 1/72 kit...really impressive in the box and with a lot of optional parts.This heli was the first big rotatory wing designed for ground attack role besides the classical troop transport. Was used massively with great success by Soviet Army in Afghanistan after the provision of Stinger missile launchers by US to rebels.
Viewing the final model in the shelf one can appreciate its amazing proportions and speculate about the terrible vision of that large machine flying over the field with its incredible agility, high speed and enormous fire power.
Its heydays was over when the industry develops new choppers exclusively dedicated to ground attack role with the ultimate in avionics, fire power and auto defense capabilities.
