The Z-8C is an active-duty shipborne helicopter of the Chinese Navy, designed specifically for naval amphibious operations and suitable for large vessels such as the Type 075

It can carry 27 fully armed soldiers or a 1.6-ton Lynx all-terrain vehicle, forming a tactical complement with the Z-20J. The Z-8C focuses on heavy equipment transport, while the Z-20J specializes in rapid personnel deployment

For the Z-8C model, I provide both unfolded and folded states, and in two scales: 1:700 and 1:350

Some friends enlarge and print my 1:2000 model. If a helicopter is needed to match, you can calculate the scale yourself and scale appropriately based on these two

The fuselage is printed flat. Be careful when removing supports, especially the tail fin section. Those interested can also try other placement methods, perhaps with better printing results

The model's fuselage and rotor are printed separately and require a bit of glue for assembly

For the 1/700 scale, simply glue on the main rotor and tail rotor

For the 1/350 scale, the tail rotor and landing gear need to be glued; the opening for the landing gear may need to be trimmed with a hobby knife. The main rotor has an axle; as long as the axle is glued to the fuselage, the rotor can rotate
