Really good updetailling. Top paint job and convincing weathering too.
I am a great fan of little bases but I think yours is a bit too small for this massive machine.

@Michael Kohl. Thank you. The base is for another kit Mi-24. I just borrowed it to get some idea. I will probably do a new base for the Mi-8.

You managed to get an excellent result despite a kit with horrible fittings. Kudos!

Very nice work. The weathering compliments the subject perfectly.

Very nicely weathered, your detailing looks impressive 👍
PS. I see you didn't risk correcting the windscreen shape, correcting the transparencies is something I'm afraid of as well

@ Łukasz Gliński thank you! You are right. I only noticed the canopy issue after it was put on. I felt it was bit too late and too risk for all the surgical work. If I knew it earlier, I might consider using the PE to correct it, definitely a scary and dangerous task with sanding scraping and polishing.

This has to be the best Mi-8/17 build ever, very impressive. I worked on this kit, it's not easy and require lots of skills and you managed to do wonders with it.
