1/72 Mil Mi-2 Hoplite Warsaw Pact & AF

Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

All-new-tool kit of the Mi-2 “Hoplite.” This multi-media kit features injection plastic main parts, resin seats, wheels, control sticks and instrument panel housing, with photo-etched instrument panel, seat frames, inlet grilles, wipers and other parts. This looks like it will build into a very highly detailed replica of this light helicopter. The decals are crisply printed with a surprisingly wide range of options: four Czech Air Force machines, three in the new scheme of brown and two grays with lo-vis insignia, and one in the old scheme of green, brown and gray over light blue, with hi-vis insignia; a Polish Air Force Hoplite; a Polish Army helicopter; two Slovak aircraft in the old scheme of brown, black and two grays and one in the new scheme of light green and dark green; an East German Air Force helicopter; a Hungarian Air Force aircraft; a Soviet Air Force machine; and finally a Bulgarian Air Force aircraft. Whew! I would strongly suspect there are some minor detail variations (antennas and such) between some of the options offered, so a little extra research may be recommended, but this is still a very impressive kit, and at a very reasonable price as well!
