Title: 1/72 Mil Mi-28 Havoc, in GDR service
Post by: Spey Phantom 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:
