The Mi-8MT (also known as Mi-17) is a versatile multi-role helicopter originating from the USSR, produced since the 1970s and currently serving in over 50 countries. Considerably improved over its predecessor, the Mi-8, this model has seen use as a military transport, rescue, and assault helicopter. It took part in armed conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, and has also been employed by civilian organizations in rescue operations.

The Eduard FE1357 set allows for precise replication of the characteristic seatbelts used in Mi-8MT helicopters. The photo-etched details made using STEEL technology are much thinner than classic brass photo-etched parts, providing greater realism and easier fitment to the pilot’s seat and other interior elements. Carefully selected colors and prints perfectly imitate genuine materials and stitching.

Perfect for dioramas and competition models. We rate the assembly difficulty as 3/5 – some parts require precision and care during application, but the clear step-by-step instructions make assembly easier.
