Mil Mi-24

Known as Krokodil or Galina this aircraft produced by Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant since 1972 is the Soviet Apache. Produced since 1972 it's still in service in some armies nowadays in the upgraded versions it has. It can carry up to 8 passengers but the best of it is the fact the helicopter has many weapons such as  12,7mm Yak-B Gatlin guns, some light cannons and a few anti-tank missiles under the wings.

My Lego version is inspired in the one of the photo. The biggest issue I has is the helix part. Real one has 5 and mine has 4 because I didn't know how to build a 5 propellers one. I built a door too (real one has one in both sides) but I hated how it looked so I prefered to delete doors so it looks better. Wheels part is weak due the weight but well if you don't touch it is fine. Anyway I'm happy how it turned out and I hope you guys like too. Here some photos about I have taken of it.



The crew. I will probably make a few changes on them so they look better

Cockpit part is weird. Not sure about if I like or not. Could be better for sure
