This Mi-24V model in 1/35 scale instantly draws attention with its sharp details and clean assembly. It’s clear from the images that Ryjiy67 dedicated a lot of effort to achieve such a precise finish. The paint has a really nice tone, solidly conveying the vibe of the original aircraft. There’s a subtle weathering that gives life to the model’s surface without overwhelming it. The rotor blades and those small touches of wear make you almost feel the history beneath them.
Speaking of history, the Mi-24, often dubbed the “flying tank,” has a fascinating backstory. It was designed in the Soviet era to be both an assault helicopter and a troop transport. I imagine it soaring through various terrains, a reliable beast of its time.
What’s really captivating in this build is the attention to the little components like the cockpit details and landing gears. They are crafted with care, and the decals have been placed perfectly, giving authenticity to the overall look. It’s those details that often bring out the character in scale models and set them apart.
Scrolling through the photos, I couldn’t help but wonder about Ryjiy67’s choice of weathering. It appears they’ve aimed for a ‘recently serviced’ appearance. The subtle grime on the landing gear adds a lived-in touch, avoiding the clean-cut look that some might choose.
One thing I found particularly appealing is how Ryjiy67 maintained balance—neither too clean nor overly weathered. It’s a fine line, and they walked it well. This Mi-24V model isn’t just a representation; it’s like holding a piece of history in your hands. I love how it all comes together to capture the essence of this legendary helicopter.
