Decals for the Mi-24P attack helicopter in Hungarian service in 1:48 scale from HAD models match the form of machines in the gray finish introduced to the NATO standard.

A decal sheet from the Hungarian manufacturer HAD models for a model of the Mi-24 attack helicopter in the P version. It is aimed at machines in Hungarian service in the later gray finish, which replaced the older multi-color camouflage. It is neither a kit nor a part: the decals are applied to a finished painted model and determine its markings. In 1:48 scale this is a rewarding combination, because a model of the helicopter has a large fuselage and the markings read well on it.
The Mi-24 is a heavy attack helicopter with an armored forward section, cockpits arranged in tandem and a cargo compartment in the rear part of the fuselage. The P version differs from the widespread V version above all in its armament: instead of a trainable turret under the nose it carries a fixed twin-barrel 30 mm cannon on the starboard side of the fuselage. This feature is the most conspicuous external distinguishing mark, and it is worth using it to confirm that you really are building the P version. Hungarian machines went over to a uniform gray finish once the new standards were introduced, and matching, less contrasting markings belong with it.
The fuselage of the helicopter has many rounded and intricate surfaces, which is the hardest task there is for decals. The surface must be glossy and dry. Settle the decal on a moistened spot and adjust its position with a soft brush, not with a finger. Apply the softener to the curves drop by drop and let it work; do not run a brush across the decal until it has dried, or it will crumple. Where a decal runs across a pronounced edge or a panel line, it helps to score the film lightly along the line with the tip of a scalpel once it has dried and to brush the softener over again. Gray finishes have little contrast, which is why a final matte or semi-gloss varnish is essential: it unifies the surface and suppresses glossy edges.
This is a stand-alone decal sheet. The kit, paints and varnishes are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
