Quickboost QB49054 Mil Mi-8MT/Mi-17 DISS cover AMK 1/48 is a high-quality resin detail set designed for modelers building Mil Mi-8MT and Mi-17 helicopters in the impressive 1/48 scale. This precise part from the renowned manufacturer Quickboost is an excellent addition to the AMK Mil Mi-8/17 plastic model, faithfully reproducing the cover for the DISS system (ДИСС – Doppler Speed and Drift Indicator), an important equipment element of Soviet and Russian transport helicopters.

The Mi-8MT and Mi-17 helicopters, operated by numerous countries worldwide—including the USSR, Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic, India, and China—are among the most popular multi-role aircraft of the second half of the 20th century and the present day. The QB49054 set captures with utmost accuracy this characteristic feature, especially prominent on versions used from the late 1970s, throughout the Cold War, and up to the latest upgraded variants in service today.

The Doppler speed and drift indicator (DISS) enabled the crew to navigate precisely, which was crucial both during combat operations and during rescue and transport missions, including in Afghanistan and in UN missions in Africa. The realistically rendered cover for this device significantly elevates the level of detail in the model, making it stand out compared to standard out-of-the-box editions.
