Taking a look at this Mi-26 Aeroflot model, crafted by Andrey Zhevnerov in 1:72 scale, what’s immediately striking is the clean, precise build. The paint job is seamless with crisp lines and a vibrant color palette that really draws the eye. You can tell there’s been a lot of care in achieving that glossy finish—it almost feels like you could see your reflection if you got close enough!

Now, onto a little tidbit about the Mi-26: this beast is known as the largest helicopter in mass production. Back in its heyday around 1981, it could carry up to 20 tons, which was quite the feat. I mean, imagine seeing something like that hovering above, fully loaded—it’s almost poetic in a way.

Wrapping things up, this model is a real treat for anyone into aviation. The detail work, especially on the rotors, combined with the history of the Mi-26, makes it a piece worth checking out. It’s not just about replicating a machine but capturing a moment in aviation history. I’m impressed by how well it’s been pulled off here!
