I like how this line in the description reads (emphasis mine):
Each figure stands approximately 4" tall and has 20 points of articulation, making it extremely posable. Just like a real soldier!

That is an interesting find indeed. A quick look up of an MI-24 dimensions put a 1/32 version's length at around 21.28". The caveat to that is that my google search yielded nothing but ambiguous specifications for length and I cannot tell whether they are meaning total length, length of only the fuselage, etc. Anyone have a more precise idea of what the dimensions are for a Hind and what a 1/32 one might measure at? Pickel, aren't you doing a 1/18 version? Care to give your small scale brethren some assistance?

the dimensions are probably package dimensions......i'd be willing to bet the model is pretty small. Probably not much more than 18 inches long, if that.

That's the new 1:18 scale BBI lineup at target... The Hind would be about 1:32, but really is a piece of junk compared to most of BBI's other aircraft and helicopters in any scale.

I checked out the Hind at Target today. I thought about picking it up and painting it but didn't. If it shows up in the clearance aisle after Christmas I'll buy it then. I also noticed An M-113, which is probably closer to 1/30. Contemplated picking that up just for a second....

I have been to multiple Targets looking for the Hind. There are none to be found. I had hoped they would have been reduced so I could try to customize it. Oh well...
