Zvezda - Mi-8T Hip-C - 7230 - 1:72

The Mil Mi-8 (NATO code: Hip) was and still is a Soviet-made multi-purpose helicopter with a fully metal semi-monocoque structure, with fixed landing gear, in a classic arrangement with a main rotor and a tail rotor on the boom. It was powered by two Klimov-TW-2-117 turboshaft engines with a capacity of 1500 HP each. The flight of the first prototype took place in July 1961, and series production began shortly after and continues to this day. Throughout the world, more than 17,000 copies of this very successful and popular helicopter have been produced to date! Many modernizations of the basic version were created. The first assault versions were the Mi-8TW and Mi-8TP helicopters, which could be armed with machine guns and unguided missiles. The Mi-24 attack helicopter later evolved from these versions. From 1981, new engines were installed in the Mi-8, thus changing the designation to Mi-17. Currently (2017) in the Russian Federation, the designation of all machines of the Mi-8 / Mi-17 family has been unified to "Mi-8". The massive success of the Mi-8 was widely exported to the Warsaw Pact countries, but also to many other countries around the world, such as India, Iraq, and Turkey. Mi-8 helicopters participated in various armed conflicts, including the war in Afghanistan (1979-1989).
