Trying hard to find 1:48 Soviet choppers for Afghanistan I came across news of a 1:48 MI-8 Hip to be released by Annetra:

At long last... well almost. That model has been rumoured and expected for about four years now. Will be a honking great bit of plastic in 1/48, I have a 1/72 version and that’s not small. I suspect the price tag will be eye watering.

At least the price must be lower than the resin version available

In my search of chopper models I came across this source suggesting there were 6 Mil Mi-2 choppers in Afghanistan:

I will now purchase the 1/48 SMER model
