The Mi-8MT, also known under the export designation Mi-17, is an upgraded and improved version of the legendary Soviet Mi-8 helicopter. The aircraft debuted at the end of the 1970s and quickly found use in the armed forces of the USSR and many other countries around the world. The Mi-8MT/Mi-17 was designed to perform a wide range of tasks – from troop and cargo transport, to rescue operations, as well as civilian and humanitarian missions. It participated, among others, in the war in Afghanistan and conflicts in the Middle East. Its spacious cargo compartment could accommodate up to 24 passengers or an appropriate amount of equipment and supplies.

The presented Eduard 481112 set allows for precise replication of the cargo interior, enhancing your model with ultra-detailed cargo seat elements (folding seats, harnesses, mounts). The photo-etched components ensure perfectly scaled thinness and detail realism, while the resin parts accurately reproduce the specific shapes of the original elements—nearly impossible to achieve with plastic sprues.

This product is recommended for advanced and intermediate modelers aiming to build dioramas or collector's models of the Mi-8MT helicopter. With these additions, you will give your model unparalleled realism, precisely replicating the look of the transport compartment straight from the military reality. The set is rated at a difficulty level of 4/5 – dedicated to those experienced in working with delicate photo-etched parts and skilled in handling resin.
