First Look
Begemot Decals is an interesting decal company from Rostov-on-Don, Russia that offers a nice array of markings for Russian-built aircraft. In this release, Begemot covers the Mi-24P Hind F version of the aircraft, distinctive with its twin-barrel 23mm GSh-23 cannon mounted to the starboard side of the nose. This set is just in time for the recent Zvezda kit.
This set is rendered on four decal sheets and contains markings for 51 aircraft. The decals provide markings from the following countries:
- Soviet Union
- Russia
- East Germany
- Germany
- Ukraine
- Peru
- Guinea
- Myanmar
- Cyprus
- Belarus
- Indonesia
- Nigeria
- Hungary
- Djibuti
- Turkmenistan
- Abkhasia
- Syria
The instructions (as you can see above) are printed in color with color-keys provided to help replicate the color scheme of each example provided.
If you're looking for an interesting project and a unique subject for your shelf or contest table, this is the decal sheet to make that happen.
