Something distinctly insectoid about the side view with the fenestron tail rotor.

Who ever said you couldn't make a Hind look more menacing?

Here's a Hind I happened upon at a show this past weekend:

It's painted up to commemorate WWII and follows the Coastal Command scheme worn by the Liberators of 311 (Czechoslovak) Squadron late in the war.

311 is considered an ancestral unit of the Czech air force's 22 Wing, which the hind squadron is assigned to.

Who would have thought that a Cold War eastern gunship helicopter could wear Coastal Command so well?

Sweet!

Looks great. I did a Chinese Frogfoot in that sort of scheme before and it was one of my favorites.

Remember, that's not the first Eastern Bloc aircraft to wear a commemorative Coastal Command scheme, either.

Cheers,

Logan

an Amphibious variant:

I like this idea : is seems to be a hull? but no side floatsfor stability?

I am just finishing a single-float Mi-24 : I will post pics soon

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #41 on:** July 26, 2015, 04:35:59 AM »

I used the Mi-14 as the basis:

I suppose one could give it pop-out side floats for additional in water stability.

ericr · « **Reply #42 on:** July 26, 2015, 05:16:19 AM »

the side wings of the Mi24 can be used to attach the side floats : my attempt is visible here :

That's a bit cool! Is that the corporate executive model for today's cut throat businessman?

No... This is Mil factory Flying Laboratory modification and will be participate on following Moscow Airshow MAKS 2015.

Bigger sign says ''Helicopters of Russia'', while smaller means ''Moscow Helicopter Factory named M. L. Mil''.

Usually, Russians (and earlier Soviets) designated such variants as LL (Летающая лаборатория, Letayushaya Laboratoriya = Flying Laboratory), MiG-25LL for example, which was primarily used as chase aircraft for Buran spaceshuttle program. So, I guess this supposed to be Mi-24LL. However, I couldn't find is this an actual designation...

Small update: it seems that this Mi-24 will be used as a test platform for Mil's next generation high-speed helicopters.

apophenia · « **Reply #48 on:** August 28, 2015, 10:12:28 AM »

According to this page, the designation is ПСВПС-ЛЛ (PSVPS-LL) for Перспективного Скоростного Винтокрыла Поперечной Схемы ... instead of the expected Ми-24ЛЛ.

Nice found... :)

According the link, it seems that program is named Mi-H3, and PSVPS-LL is designation for technology, not the helicopter itself.

Also on http://military-informant.com/airforca/vertoletyi-rossii-pokazhut-na-vyistavke-maks-2015-prototip-letayushhey-laboratorii-vintokryila-mi-h3.html is said that this prototype is based on Mi-35 (export variant of Mi-24V) with retractable landing gear. Roughly translated, PSVPS-LL supposed to be Perspective High-speed Rotorcraft of Transverse Schematics - Flying Laboratory.
