Product Description

-Be-8, like the Be-4 developed by the same Beryev Design Bureau, was a flying boat with a layout in which the wings were supported from the fuselage by columns and the engine was mounted on it.
-As an improvement from Be-4, retractable wheels are attached, 6 passengers or 2 stretchers can be installed in addition to 2 passengers, and the cabin is equipped with a heater that uses the waste heat of the engine. It was.
-Be-8 was manufactured as a civilian aircraft from the beginning unlike Be-4, so no weapons were attached.
-The first flight was performed in 1947, and the test pilots had a good reputation for their honest manoeuvrability, but they were never mass-produced.
-Two prototypes were shown at the 1951 Tsushino Soviet Air Show.

-Be-8 was used for various experiments, although only two were made.
-In 1955, a hydroski wearing test was conducted in collaboration with the Navy Research Institute.
-The Hydroski was installed on the landing gear, which created a special dolly on land.
-In 1956, a test flight took place and the pilot evaluated it to be easier to maneuver than a normal hull.
-However, since the hydrofoil was not made retractable, it was not used in a mass-produced machine because it increased aerodynamic resistance, reduced maximum speed, and complicated manufacturing and design.

-Includes etching parts and 2 types of decals.
-When completed, the total length will be about 181 mm and the total width will be about 264 mm.
