Here They Come!
Finally, new Hind Commander miniature sets in 1:600 scale are in the Assault Publishing online store (the reviews of HC you can find here). They are smaller, more flexible, and allow you compose your strike group in a more individual way. They are also a very good way of expanding existing Hind Commander collections, as the models come from the same producer (Oddzial Ósmy), but the new range bring new possibilities and options.
The models are grouped into four main categories:
HCC (26.00 PLN/set) category groups the stars of the whole show – the helicopters. Most sets consist of twelve helicopters (but there are some exceptions), always in three types. For example, Soviet/Russian Strike Set 1 (code HCC7) consists of 4 x Mi-24s, 4 x Mi-28s, and 4 x Ka-50s.
HCU (14.00 PLN/set) category covers the ground vehicles or artillery pieces, and always consists of nine vehicles/artillery pieces in three types.
In the HCH (15.00 PLN/set) category, you can find the airplanes: always six in three types (two planes per type).
Finally, HCJ (14.50 PLN/set) category covers all special models, such as infantry sets or complete SA-2 systems.
