Mi-24 Hind Cuba

Tim Vereecke
looking forward to this one!

Puh Malte, you´ll need a lot of space for that babe! But building this beast must be true fun!

Malte D
Thanks, enough Space should not be the factor, the time to build it will be the bigger factor. 🙂 But I am really glad that I found a really interesting example to build.

Holger Kranich
Yes it is interesting, indeed! I never saw a Hind from Cuba!

Malte D
Yepp, and the ones you usually find are Museum-examples. 🙂

Saw one live approximately 8 years ago when I was in Nuevitas (CU). It was on a patrol flight on the nothern coast, Unfortunately light conditions were bad (back light ) so it was not possible to identify neither the camouflage colors nor the markings.

Malte D
I don't know when they were painted in the new camouflage, the old one was a mix of light blue and light green - that is what you see on a lot of pics on a.net and so on.

Christian Lehmann
This is correct. They use the same blue-greene sceme on their Migs but it is not so easy to find good fotos but sometimes you can observe them at the airport of Holguin which has a large military area with shelters and runways in the bush.

Malte D
Thanks for the infos! If I ever go to Cuba, this will be my first aim. 🙂 The camo that will cover this model will be this one: [img1]

Looks like an olive green - dark green scheme

Malte D
It is. The current Mi-8/17 and also ground vehicles are wearing this colours now.

Christian Lehmann
I´ll will take care for this next time

On this page you can see a lot more vehicles in those colors. I really like it! armyrecognition.com/..pictures_gallery.htm
