Mikoyan MiG-8, Aircraft Model Kit Scale 1:72 Avis AV72013

The Mikoyan MiG-8 aircraft plastic model kit in 1/72 scale by Avis represents an experimental Soviet aircraft developed during the 1940s. This unpainted and unassembled plastic model kit captures the distinctive configuration of the MiG-8, also known as the "Utka".

The MiG-8 was designed as a testbed aircraft to explore aerodynamic concepts, including forward-swept wings and unconventional layout solutions. It played a role in early research that contributed to later aircraft development within the Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau.

Mikoyan MiG-8 - Experimental Aircraft

The aircraft features a unique layout with a canard configuration and pusher propeller arrangement. Its unusual design makes it a notable subject among experimental aviation projects.

For modelers: The non-standard layout requires careful alignment of wings and tail surfaces. Attention to symmetry and positioning of smaller components will help achieve an accurate 1/72 scale build.
