This sheet from Odecals is for the OKit Mi-2, but could probably be used on the Hobby Boss kit as well if that is what you have on hand. It covers no fewer than 12 different aircraft and for that reason, I am only showing a quarter of the markings options on the instruction sheet, as it is several pages in length.

Half of the markings are for the Czech and Slovak Air Force with four of these being Czech and most of those being the later low visibility markings. A single set of low visibility markings are provided for these three airframes as the only real difference are the serial numbers.

The rest of the sheet covers a Soviet helo from 1985, an East German version from 1986 and a Polish aircraft from 1988. As some of you know, just about all Mi-2s were built in Poland.

The last three are from Hungary in 2001, Bulgaria in 1992 and a second Polish vehicle from 2002. These are shown to the right.

A comprehensive painting chart is provided with references in Humbrol, Agama, and FS595. In all, it is a fine sheet and provides a great opportunity to replace kit decals with something a bit more user friendly.
