I am trying to convert a Mi-24 F to a V-24 the initial prototype of the Mi-24.

After a quick check with blue print, the cockpit was obviously too long. I had to remove again the heller cockpit bit and cut 5mm to adapt it to the italeri body. Was long and painfull but it appears to look more to the original blue print.

still wondering why I did not forgot about these 2 old kits and just bought a Zvezda and adapt it...

I will follow it with a great interest.
Not for the V24 but for a Mi-24A...

Objet 240 ou 245?
Parce qu'ils ne sont pas de la même longueur et le 245 est plus long

regarding the version it will be it was quite difficult to adjust the Heller cockpit to the Italeri, lot of gluing cutting and adjusting. But it will be rather tend to the version 240.

hi all, here are thie final build, that was a long run but I called it a end. I put some picture with ref material behind the kit in order to illustrate

as per Marc comment several prototype length were developped. this try to represent and early intermediate prototype most probably 245 with main caracteristic of the Mi-24A but with in particular straight armament pod you will notice.

I used AKAN paint to try to stick to specific coloring, I hope it look realistic.

the final is far from being perfect, from the begining it was based on seriously damaged oldies kits with broken and lost parts.
I enjoyed making it, hope it illustrate the long creation process that led to the modern Mi-24. Please give me your thought on it.

The canopy looks very fine like the reference picture. It only seems that the rotor has some differences.
