Mi-26 Halo – brief historical overview

The Mi-26 Halo is a Russian heavy-lift transport helicopter that entered service in the 1980s (Cold War era). It was designed by the Mil design bureau, with the Russian armed forces as its primary user, but it has also been operated by over 20 countries worldwide, including Ukraine, India, China, and Venezuela. The Mi-26 has been used in various military and civilian operations – for instance during the war in Afghanistan, conflicts in the Caucasus, as well as in rescue and transport missions during natural disasters.

Technical product description

Precisely cut from thin yet durable foil, they fit perfectly to the contours of the Zvezda model parts. They help to prevent paint bleed and save time compared to tedious manual masking.
