The Mi-8MT, an upgraded version of the famous Soviet Mi-8 transport helicopter, debuted in the late 1970s and was widely used by the armed forces of the USSR and former Eastern Bloc countries, as well as numerous nations worldwide for transport, rescue, and combat missions. Today, the Mi-8 and its derivatives are still in use in over 50 countries. The Mi-8MT helicopter saw active service, for example, during the war in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989 (Cold War period), playing a key role in logistics and supporting ground troops.

The Eduard Brassin 648868 set allows for a much more accurate replication of the appearance of Mi-8MT wheels compared to the plastic parts supplied in the original Trumpeter model. The high level of detail, finely recreated tire treads, and perfectly shaped rims ensure exceptional realism, which will be appreciated by both experienced modelers and those wishing to elevate their modeling projects. Furthermore, the included precise painting masks make it easier to achieve a striking and clean finish.

The set does not require the use of photo-etched parts or decals, making assembly relatively straightforward. The recommended experience level is 2/5, making this product suitable for both intermediate and beginner modelers wanting to give resin modeling a try.

We recommend this product to anyone looking to make their Mi-8MT model stand out in terms of history and detail. Thanks to Eduard 648868, your replica will look exceptionally realistic, whether in a diorama or on display.
