Model Overview

Zvezda 7255 is a 1:72 plastic model kit of the Mil Mi-28NE Night Havoc 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 80 plastic parts for this release.

Design & Detail

This release represents the Mi-28NE Night Havoc, a Russian attack-helicopter subject. It has a conventional main rotor and tail rotor, rather than the stacked coaxial rotors of a Kamov Ka-50 or Ka-52. Compare the exact variant and markings when planning a modern helicopter collection.

Build Experience

Model Steam difficulty: Intermediate. Cockpit, fuselage, glazing, undercarriage and rotor fitting require routine preparation and several dependent adhesive stages. Smaller external fittings benefit from practice. These tasks support an Intermediate rating rather than an unsupported claim that the kit is suitable for every beginner.

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

The manufacturer lists an overall model size of 24cm. Check the completed rotor footprint in addition to the fuselage dimensions before selecting a shelf or display case. It suits a modern military aviation collection, with the exact scheme determined by the supplied markings.
