This release
from
Linden
Hill Decals a decal sheet full of lots of variety.
This particular decal sheet
focuses on the Bush War Hinds. Markings cover sixteen
aircraft including Mi-24
and the Mi-35 for the USSR in Afghanistan, Russian forces in Chechnya and
Dagestan, Ukraine forces in UN markings, Afghan "Northern Alliance
Forces", Afghan AF before 1979, Croatian AF, Macedonian AF, Czech AF,
Bulgarian AF, Libyan AF, Nigerian AF, Sudanese AF. Stencils are
included for one Hind. Painting instructions are included for each
aircraft although in some cases you only have one view of the aircraft, which
will mean some artistic license on painting the camo on the other side of the
aircraft. Paint colours are given in FS#'s for each aircraft as well as
some background info on each aircraft (including such info as where it operated
and whether the paint was faded etc).

These decals are a very
high quality in perfect register and best
suited for the 1/48 Revell, Monogram, Mini-Hobby or Trumpeter kit and in 1/72 for the Hasegawa,
Zvezda or Bilek kits. A very nice decal
sheet and highly recommended for all the fans of this very well known Russian
attack helicopter. The variety of camo patterns means there should
be something here to appeal to just about everyone.
I would like to
thank Linden
Hill Decals for providing me with this review sample.
