About product

Open service and emergency hatch for the Mi-8MT and Mi-17 in 1:48 scale

This is a resin accessory for a helicopter model, not the model itself. It replaces the hatch that the production plastic part renders closed with a part in the open position. The set is meant for 1:48 scale and for machines of the Mi-8MT and Mi-17 family.

What it does for the model

An open hatch is one of the simplest ways to bring a model to life. A closed fuselage reads as a sealed block; as soon as one panel is swung open, the machine takes on the look of equipment parked during maintenance. The opening also lets the eye inside, so it is worth at least suggesting the interior with paint and shadow. The casting has a thin wall that injection-molded plastic could not manage at the same thickness, which is exactly why hatches in the open position are made of resin.

How to work with the part

Cut the part away from the casting block, wash it in lukewarm water with a little detergent to remove any mold release agent and let it dry. Test the opening in the fuselage dry first and seat the hatch at the angle the real machine has. Cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) holds the joint. Spray the inner face of the hatch and the edges of the opening before you seat the part, because a brush will not reach there afterward.

Who the set is for

  • For modelers building an Mi-8MT or Mi-17 in 1:48 scale who want a model with open panels.
  • For diorama builders with ground crew and a maintenance scene.
  • For those looking for a visible change to the model's appearance from a small part.
  • For modelers with experience of resin parts and super glue.

FAQ

It is not. This is an accessory that seats on an Mi-8MT or Mi-17 model in 1:48 scale. The helicopter itself is bought separately.

Yes, the hatch seats into an opening, so room has to be made in the fuselage. Go slowly, trace the outline first and keep testing the part dry.

The casting is shaped for this family of machines in that scale, but individual models differ in detail. If you are unsure, compare the shape of the part with your model before you cut the opening.

Definitely. The open hatch lets you see inside, so even a simple suggestion of paint and shadow helps the result a great deal.
