About product

The real subject

The Mi-8 is a medium twin-engine transport helicopter, one of the most widespread machines of its class anywhere. It flew in transport, assault and armed forms, and in many countries it still serves today. The MT version is a later one with a more powerful engine installation; you can tell it among other things by the tail rotor moved to the left side of the tail boom.

What photo-etched parts bring

Photo-etched parts are produced from thin metal sheet by chemical etching, so they have a thickness that cannot be achieved in injection-molded plastic. That is exactly why they suit grilles, buckles, grab handles, hinges, panels and other elements that are made of sheet metal on the real machine. On a helicopter model the difference shows above all in the cockpit and cargo area and on the surfaces the viewer has directly in front of them. The extent of the set, that is which particular sections it covers, is given in the manufacturer's instructions.

How to work with photo-etched parts

  • cut a part off with a sharp blade on a hard surface; do not break it off, as the sheet will twist
  • level the remainder of the tab with a fine file or a sanding plate
  • make bends over a straight edge or in an etch bender, not with tweezers
  • glue with super glue applied in a minute amount on the tip of a toothpick
  • wash and degrease the metal before painting, otherwise the coat will not hold
  • on bare sheet use a primer intended for metal

Who it is for

For builders who want to take a helicopter beyond the contents of the box and do not mind fine work with tweezers. Over the large surface of a model in 1:48 scale it pays off.

Terms of supply

A set of photo-etched parts is supplied. The kit, paints and glue are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The product name does not give the kit. Before buying, therefore, compare the shape of the parts with the instructions, or go by the details from the maker of the etched set.

The list of parts and their placement are given in the instructions that come with the set. The product name gives only the scale and the type of helicopter.

Super glue. Modeling cement for polystyrene has no effect on metal and will not join it.

Yes. Degrease them and apply a primer intended for metal, otherwise the coat will rub off during handling.
