Trumpeter 1/48 Russian Mi-171Sh Hip – 05855

Build the Trumpeter 1/48 Russian Mi-171Sh Hip, a detailed plastic model kit of the combat-capable transport helicopter developed from the Mi-8/Mi-17 family. The Mi-171Sh features a five-bladed main rotor, fixed tricycle landing gear, a spacious troop cabin, armored protection, and infrared-suppression equipment around the engine exhausts.

This kit provides 300+ parts across 12 sprues and includes detailed cockpit, cabin, landing gear, and fuselage components. The canopy is molded in clear parts, while photo-etched components add additional fine detail. A 3D-printed exhaust cooling system is also included to reproduce the distinctive engine exhaust area with greater definition.

At more than 20 inches long when completed, this 1/48 scale Mi-171Sh makes an impressive display model and provides plenty of room for showcasing the extensive interior and exterior detail.

Beginner-Friendly Note: This is a larger and relatively detailed helicopter kit with 300+ parts, photo-etched components, and specialized detail parts. Beginners can tackle it with patience, but some previous model-building experience will make the assembly process more enjoyable.
