This new
softcover book from
HT Model Magazine
is specifically devoted to the Mi-24 Hind. This is a soft cover
book made from heavy weight glossy magazine paper, so it will hold up
well to continued use. The cover....(although a soft cover) is
made from thick glossy paper and will hold together well. The book
is produced in Slovakia, so it is written in the local language and
comes with an insert in English, but the true joy and value of this book
is it's detailed walkaround photos.
So...what do
you get? Quite a bit. This reference book is devoted to
photos of the Mi-24 Hind as used by the Armed Forces of the Slovak
Republic. And what a selection of photos......over 260
glossy detail photos. There are also 35 beautifully done colour
profiles of various Slovak Hinds......I've included one colour
profile below to give you a feel. The photos in this book focus on
all the detail areas that modellers are obsessed with. Lots of
cockpit photos.....photos of the engines with all the engine cowlings
opened up......photos of various weapons systems. As well as
photos of the landing gear, open maintenance panels, rotor head and tail
rotor, interior, exterior, and on and on.

The 35 colour profiles are single
side views with a 4 view drawing at the back of the book to give you an idea of
the total camo pattern. Below
I've include a tiny selection of some of the pages....out of respect to the
producers of this fine book, I am not providing larger scans.

I'm quite impressed
with the quality of this new book and I look forward to other
editions from this company. I recommend this book to anyone
interested in the Mi-24 Hind and especially modellers looking for more reference
photos. I am quite pleased to add this book to my library.....it will
prove to be a very helpful book on future Mi-24 models. Special thanks to the folks at
HT
Model Magazine for the review sample and bringing this book to my attention.
