Zvezda 7315 Mil Mi-24P Hind Attack Helicopter 1:72 Model Kit

Model Overview

Zvezda 7315 is a 1:72 plastic model kit of the Mil Mi-24P Hind Attack Helicopter. It is supplied as a construction project for assembly and display, rather than a finished helicopter or a radio-controlled model. The manufacturer lists 267 plastic parts for this release.

Design & Detail

The Mi-24P is the cannon-armed Hind variant, distinguished from earlier nose-turret versions by its fixed gun on the right side of the fuselage. Choose this specific variant when comparing different Mi-24 boxes; a shared Hind name does not mean the same supplied aircraft configuration.

Build Experience

Model Steam difficulty: Challenging. Detailed interior and external subassemblies, small undercarriage components, clear glazing and the rotor system need sustained care and accurate alignment. This is a Challenging construction project, despite the compact scale. Previous experience of multi-stage plastic aircraft assembly is useful.

Remove parts from the sprues carefully, tidy the attachment points and test-fit each subassembly before applying cement. Complete any internal finishing while those areas remain accessible, then protect the clear parts and small fittings as you continue with the fuselage and rotor.

Use suitable plastic-modelling cement for assembly. The parts are supplied for construction and painting; paints, glue and tools are separate purchases, rather than included starter-set supplies.

Display & Collection

At a manufacturer-listed overall size of 29.8cm, this Mi-24P needs more space than a small single-seat fighter at the same scale. Consider both the fuselage and rotor clearance. Check the supplied markings before selecting a Cold War or later service setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a kit or a ready-built helicopter?

This is Zvezda kit 7315, an unassembled 1:72 plastic model of the Mil Mi-24P Hind Attack Helicopter. Construction is required before it can be displayed.

How demanding is the build?

Model Steam rates this kit Challenging. The rating covers the supplied construction task, including fitting smaller components and aligning the rotor; optional advanced weathering is a separate choice.

Are glue and paints included?

Use suitable plastic-modelling cement for assembly. The parts are supplied for construction and painting; paints, glue and tools are separate purchases, rather than included starter-set supplies.

What size is the completed model?

The manufacturer specifies 29.8cm overall model size. Allow clearance around the rotors and check the intended shelf or case before beginning the build.

Does the model fly or use a motor?

This is a static display model. Its helicopter subject does not make it an RC aircraft, and any movable display parts do not provide powered flight.
