FSX Mil Mi-8M

Mil Mi-8M drab troop-transport livery adds a believable, low-profile finish with subdued wheels and window glass for a clean operational look in FSX. Textures only, it requires Vladimir Zhigulsky’s Mil Mi-8M model and brings a cohesive, military-style repaint suitable for utility and transport rotorcraft flights.
