Product Description

The Eduard 3DL48122 set offers the highest level of cockpit detail for the Mi-8MT / Mi-17 model. It includes three-dimensional decals for the main and side instrument panels and controls, precisely replicating the details of the Russian helicopter cabin.

The 3D decals are easy to apply and allow a level of realism unattainable with standard decals or airbrush painting.

Mi-8MT (Mi-17) – Historical Context

The Mi-8MT is a developmental version of the famous Soviet multi-purpose helicopter Mi-8, used by over 60 countries worldwide. The helicopter has served in both military (transport, assault, fire support) and civilian (rescue, transport) roles. This version has been in service since the 1970s (Cold War period) up to the present day. The Mi-8MT took part in, among others, the USSR's intervention in Afghanistan and is still widely used today by the Russian armed forces and many former Eastern Bloc countries.
