Mi-24VP Hatches and Panels (for Zvezda) Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDP48020

Metallic Details MDP48020 is a 3D exterior decals set for the Mi-24VP in 1/48, designed for the Zvezda kit. The set focuses on subtle raised surface features—hatches, access panels, and inspection covers—so the airframe reads with more structure under paint and weathering.

These are ready-to-use 3D decals for exterior detailing. The helicopter kit is not included.

On the Mi-24VP, many exterior hatches and panels sit on curved and stepped surfaces. This set helps define those areas with consistent raised detail, supporting a cleaner “panel map” on the finished model without re-scribing or building up layers by hand.

For modelers: plan placement before final paint coats. Apply the larger hatches first, then smaller inspection covers, and keep alignment consistent across both sides of the fuselage. Use a smooth, glossy surface to reduce edge visibility, then seal the decals before washes; re-check fit around compound curves and nearby molded details (kit-dependent).

FAQ

Is this set intended for other Mi-24 variants?

The set is designed for the Zvezda 1/48 Mi-24VP. Other variants and toolings may differ in hatch layout and panel geometry, so treat cross-compatibility as kit-dependent.

Can I paint over the 3D decals?

Yes, but apply thin coats to preserve the raised detail. Seal the decals first, then build color gradually and finish with your preferred clear coat before weathering.

What is a practical application order for exterior panels?

Place larger hatches and access panels first to establish alignment, then add smaller inspection covers. Re-check symmetry side-to-side before sealing.
