RESKIT RS48-0038 Mi-8 (Mi-17) wheels set 1/48 – Resin wheel set for helicopter scale models

We present a high-quality detail set RESKIT RS48-0038 Mi-8 (Mi-17) wheels set 1/48, dedicated to Soviet/Russian Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopter models in the popular 1/48 scale. This is a product from the renowned manufacturer RES/KIT, well-known for exceptional accuracy and superb model accessories.

The Mi-8 helicopter was developed in the Soviet Union in the late 1960s and became one of the most widely produced multi-role helicopters in the world. It has been (and continues to be) used extensively from the late 1960s through modern times in over 50 countries worldwide – from Eastern Europe, through Africa and Asia, to South America. The Mi-8 and its improved version, the Mi-17, have been used, among others, during the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan as well as in numerous peacekeeping and humanitarian missions. Their durability and carrying capacity have made them popular for both military and civilian uses.

The offered set, created by RES/KIT, is a precisely detailed resin wheel set for Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters. It is made from high-quality resin, which allows for precise reproduction of even the smallest tread details and tire texture. Resin also makes processing and painting easier compared to plastic parts. The set does not require metal assembly elements, but is compatible with most plastic models in 1/48 scale available on the market – such as those by Zvezda, Hobby Boss, or Trumpeter. The product does not include additional photo-etched or metal parts.

Product category: resin detail set for 1/48 scale models, aftermarket type. Ideal for modelers who wish to enhance the realism of their helicopter models. The set is recommended for both advanced and intermediate modelers – we rate the assembly difficulty as 2 on a scale of 1-5.
