About product

The real subject

The Mi-171Sh belongs to the broad family of transport helicopters derived from the Mi-8, which the Western designation lists under the name Hip. It is a large twin-engine machine with a roomy cargo cabin, a five-blade main rotor and fixed wheeled landing gear. The versions of the Mi-171 series were built above all to carry troops and materiel and they have stub pylons on the sides of the fuselage.

What to watch out for during the build

A helicopter of this size has several places that decide the result:

  • finish and paint the cockpit and the cargo compartment before you close the fuselage
  • the glazing on the Mi-171 is extensive, so prepare the masking with something to spare
  • glue the rotor blades on only after the fuselage has been painted, otherwise they get in the way
  • let the mounting of the rotor head dry in a horizontal position so that the blades do not droop

Painting and the surface

On helicopters the transitions on the fuselage are easily wiped out by a heavy layer of paint, so apply it thinly and rather in two passes. The large flat areas of the sides also show every step left by an insufficiently sanded joint mercilessly, so it pays to check them once more against the light before painting. The particular color versions and marking schemes are described in the manufacturer's instructions, which also state which parts belong to which version.

Who it is for

The model will please the builder who enjoys modern helicopters and a large scale. Paints, glue, filler and decal softener are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
