Mil Mi-24, Main Rotor (for Zvezda, Revell/Monogram) Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDR4875

Metallic Details MDR4875 is a resin main rotor upgrade for the Mil Mi-24 in 1/48, recommended for Zvezda and Revell/Monogram kits. The focus is the rotor head area, including linkages, hub geometry, and blade-root transitions, which are visible on a finished helicopter model.

The Mi-24 is a large, twin-engine helicopter type with a prominent five-blade rotor system. Replacing the kit rotor parts can be used to change the top silhouette and how the hub appears under light, depending on the kit and build approach.

For modelers: dry-fit the rotor mast and hub early and check vertical alignment from front and side views before glue. Use the included flexible wire (where applicable) after major sanding is done, and keep it slightly long until final positioning. If you want consistent blade droop, make a simple jig from card strips so all blades cure at the same angle.

FAQ

Is this a full helicopter kit?

No. This is an upgrade set for the main rotor; the base kit is not included.

Will it fit any 1/48 Mi-24 kit?

It is recommended for Zvezda and Revell/Monogram. Other kits may have different mast and hub dimensions, so compatibility would be kit-dependent.

When should I install the rotor assembly?

Install it late in the build after most painting and finishing steps. This helps reduce handling and supports consistent blade alignment.
