Eduard 481126 Mi-17 Cargo Seats Trumpeter 1/48 – Photo-Etched and Resin Set

The Eduard 481126 Mi-17 cargo seats Trumpeter 1/48 set has been developed for modelers planning to intricately recreate the interior of the Mi-17 transport helicopter in 1/48 scale, designed for the Trumpeter model. Advanced photo-etched and resin components make it possible to dramatically improve the details of the cargo cabin of this versatile machine.

The Mi-17, one of the most widely used transport helicopters in the world, has remained an important means of military and rescue transport from the late 1970s to the present day. Developed in the USSR, it is currently used by many armies, including Polish, Russian, Indian, Iranian, and Chinese forces, serving in conflicts such as Afghanistan, UN operations, and humanitarian missions worldwide.

• Scale: 1/48
• Recommended for: Trumpeter Mi-17 models
• Countries of original use: USSR, Russia, Poland, India, and many others
• Period of original use: Cold War, modern times

• Purpose: detailed reproduction of cargo cabin transport seats

Working with the Eduard 481126 Mi-17 cargo seats set allows you to achieve a highly realistic interior arrangement, capturing all the characteristic details in the cargo space, such as belts, mounts, and the distinctive shapes of seats—features that are virtually impossible to achieve with parts from standard plastic model kits. Using both photo-etched parts (for thin, precise elements) and resin (for more complex forms) guarantees the best final effect.

The set is recommended for advanced modelers and rotary-wing military enthusiasts who want to achieve the highest level of realism. Assembly requires skill and accuracy (difficulty level – 4/5), especially when working with photo-etched metal and resin components, which need to be properly prepared and fitted.

Summary: If you care about maximum realism and a "wow" effect when opening the Mi-17 cabin doors, this set is a must-have for every 1/48 scale helicopter enthusiast.
