Mil Mi-8MT/Mi-17
Hip-H conversion to Mil Mi-171
This is my first
article in ARC. I did this helicopter in memory of ‘Great Sichuan
Earthquake’.
This kit used the Trumpeter Mil Mi-8MT/Mi-17 Hip-H
conversion to Mil Mi-171. A lot of accessories I made myself from
scratch.

The accessories scratched
by myself as follow:
- -External hoist with 150 kg
lifting capacity
- -Heating unit
- -Some parts of main cockpit
- -Internal fuel tank
- -Doppler
- -Main rotor disc with
vibration dampers
- -The cover of meteorology
antenna
- -8A-813 radar
- - High frequency antenna
This helicopter took
about 9 months to research reference materials and build. It's an
interesting work (But it is hard to build).
Enjoy aircraft
modeling.=)
