Scale Representation of the Mi-8MT/Mi-17 Hip-H

The Mi-8MT/Mi-17, commonly called the Hip, is a versatile rotorcraft and this 1/72 offering from Hobby Boss HB-87208 reproduces its functional lines for scale enthusiasts. The kit is aimed at modellers who appreciate period accuracy and operational variety in small-scale subjects.

Designed to show the helicopter's cargo and troop transport capabilities, the kit includes parts that highlight structural elements and access panels. Careful painting and weathering will bring out the machine's service character for a convincing static display.

Does the kit include clear parts for windows and cockpit?

Yes, the kit supplies clear components for windscreens and observation windows to help achieve crisp cockpit glazing when masked and painted carefully.

Are decals provided for markings?

Decals are included for standard markings; check the instructions for placement and consider using decal setting solution for a painted-on appearance.

Can this kit be converted for RC use?

The kit is intended for static modelling. Converting to RC would need custom work, internal space planning and lightweighting, so it is an advanced modification for experienced builders only.

Any tips for panel line and weathering work?

Use a fine wash for panel lines and light drybrushing to lift edges. Reference period photos to guide weathering in areas like cargo doors and rotor hubs.
