The Eduard 481111 Mi-8MT cargo floor upgrade set is a high-quality kit designed for the Mi-8MT/Mi-17 helicopter model in 1/48 scale (compatible with the TRUMPETER kit). This product is aimed at modelers who expect perfect interior detail reproduction, especially concerning the cargo floor.

The Mi-8MT helicopter (also known as Mi-17) is a Soviet, later Russian, multi-role rotorcraft that has been widely used since 1977. Its period of intensive service covers both the Cold War era and modern times. It has been operated by numerous countries, including the USSR/Russia, Poland, China, and many former Eastern Bloc nations as well as NATO states. The Mi-8MT/Mi-17 has been used in military conflicts (e.g., Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq) and for rescue, logistics, and transport operations worldwide.

This set belongs to the category of upgrades for plastic scale models. It is made from two materials: photo-etched brass parts allow for the reproduction of the smallest and most realistic construction details, while precisely cast resin details allow you to supplement or replace parts that cannot be reproduced in plastic. The set is dedicated to modelers who aim for the highest standard of authentic detail reproduction.

The kit includes a complete set of parts that enable accurate recreation of the Mi-8MT cargo compartment floor, with realistic textures, slots, handles, and technical gaps. The product is intended for advanced modelers who want to professionally expand and enhance the model’s interior.
