For those who really like attack helicopters comes this fine sheet from Zotz for the Mongram 1/48 Hind. There are markings for four helicopters on this sheet, most in a variation of the standard scheme. This scheme is rather hard edged, so even in 1/48 it would look good if masked or even carefully brush painted.

Due to the design of the instruction booklet, it isn't condusive to showing the individual designs in this review so please visit the website at the hyperlink below for more information.

The aircraft in the sheet are from Cuba in a non-standard segmented scheme of blue and green as is sometimes seen on their MiG fighters.

In a scheme similar to what is offered in the Mongram kit is a Nicaraguan Hind; two different aircraft and colors are provided.

The final scheme is for the shark-mouthed Peruvian Hinds. These aircraft have probably seen more combat than those of the other two nations.

The instructions are excellent giving Humbrol color references or FS 595 colors depending on the helicopter in question.  Zotz has even provided the warning stripes in several colors as well as the 'Danger' markings in three languages.

.A super decal sheet that should fill the bill for those of you who are into helos.

This one is also available in 1/72 and 1/35 scales
