1/72 Mikoyan MiG-8

Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

Here’s a sharply detailed kit depicting the Soviet experimental aircraft known as the “Duck,” the Mikoyan MiG-8 Aficionado. Another interesting subject from Avis of the Ukraine!

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-8 Utka (“duck”) was a Soviet experimental aircraft. Built of wood, the aircraft was designed and built in 1945 to test the novel canard configuration. It also used a tricycle undercarriage, the first used by the design bureau (OKB). It was modified to test a variety of vetical stabilizer and wingtip configurations, and later used as a liaison aircraft for many years by the design bureau.
