The Mi-8MT (export designation Mi-17) is one of the most widely produced transport helicopters in the world, designed in the USSR by the Mil design bureau. Its first units entered service in the early 1970s and they remain in operation today with many countries across various continents. This design has been used in numerous armed conflicts—from the war in Afghanistan, to operations in the Balkans, up to contemporary UN missions. It is a multi-role helicopter, used both by military and civilian units in Russia, Ukraine, Poland, India, China, and many other countries.

The Eduard 491340 set features the highest quality photo-etched brass and precision resin castings. These components significantly enhance the reproduction of the cockpit interior, instrument panels, seatbelts, and other small but crucial elements that are difficult to achieve with plastic injection molding alone. The set also includes clear and detailed assembly instructions.

We recommend this product for advanced modelers (difficulty level 4/5) who wish to transform the base model into a realistic, historically accurate miniature worthy of any collection. The Eduard 491340 enhancement set helps bring out the maximum level of detail, making it appreciated by both Cold War era aircraft enthusiasts and fans of modern military machines.
