1/72 Mil Mi-28 Havoc, in GDR service
« on: September 13, 2014, 04:02:48 AM »
this one im now working on, is a Zvezda 1/72 Mi-28A, Decals im using will be a combination of the fits (stencilling) and a TOM east-german decal set (markings & serials).

the story behind this build is that if the German Democratic Republic (East-Germany) still exisited, they would ahve to replace they're Mi24 Hind-E and -F's at this point. at first, i was thinking of a Ka50 or 52, but i decided that an Mi-28 would be more plausible.
the DDR-LSK would have posessed about 26 of these machines to support DDR-NVA (GDR National Peoples Army) troops on the ground.


the plan in my head:

Beautifully executed and displayed.  I could definitely see this replacing at least some of the GDR's Mi-24s with no problem.
