This is a pre-painted, blind box 'kit' from F-Toys, who have a ridiculously large, but short run, 1/144 range.
Parts fit very well, but I had to remove some of the locating pins as the holes were too small
It's also the only Hind-A model available in this scale, and comes in three different schemes including Russian, though this one from the VAF, seems to be the only one still available (and has about doubled in price on eBay since I got mine)
I added pitots, foot-steps, underside aerial from steel rod, and painted the warning flash on the tail, as well as removing the rocket pods, as seen in the source picture
The photo the model is based on is 7402 of 916 Helo Regimnent, 381 AF Division, at Hua Loc air base in 2006
