New release from Osprey Publishing is no 171 in their New Vanguard series. With Zvezda releasing a 1/72 Mil MI-24 Gunship soon, see here, this publication would be an ideal reference source.

With its distinctive double-cockpit design, the Mi-24 ‘Hind’ is arguably the most recognizable war machine of the Cold War, and has achieved near-legendary status in the annals of military history. The first Soviet helicopter to function as both a gunship and an assault transport, it served extensively in Afghanistan, and is now employed by armies across the world. Written by an expert on the ‘Hind’, an drawing on manufacturing and military sources, this book presents the Mi-24 in all of its brutal glory, from design and development to deployment and combat. Also included are a number of colour plates showing the distinct paint schemes employed by various nations in a range of theatres and for different armies.
