Mil Mi-24, Antennas and Sensors (for Zvezda, Revell) Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDR4885

Metallic Details MDR4885 is a resin detailing set for external antennas, sensors, and guidance system fittings on the Mil Mi-24 in 1/48 scale. It focuses on small surface elements that remain visible on a finished helicopter model and may vary between kit representations.

Mi-24 airframes can show differences in antenna and sensor layouts between variants and refits, so this set is best used when matching a specific configuration using reference photos.

For modelers: map each part location before committing to glue. Mark the airframe centerlines with low-tack tape, open mounting points with a fine drill if needed, then test-fit each piece for alignment. Install these parts late in the build to reduce handling damage, and touch up paint after final positioning.

FAQ

How do I confirm the correct antenna and sensor layout for my build?

Use reference photos for the specific Mi-24 variant and time period you are modeling. Compare the kit’s molded details with the intended configuration before placing resin parts.

When should I install these exterior parts in the build sequence?

Install them late, after main assembly and painting, to reduce the risk of snapping small parts during handling. Dry-fit first and adjust alignment before final glue.

What adhesive works best for resin antennas and sensors?

Use CA (super glue) for quick positioning or epoxy if you want more working time. Keep contact points clean and unpainted for stronger bonding.
