42145 - Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter

[technicfanatic]

Thanks for the link, @thekoRngear! Nice compact review.

[nerdsforprez]

I watched this one as well but I guess I can't say I saw what you saw.  He pretty much just covered the points already discussed in other reviews (sagging rear and play in rotor head).  The points about perhaps some motorized functions not working that well due to gearbox friction almost becomes a moot  point  because in the "final words" at the end of the video he praises how well the motorized functions work.  So.... not sure what you are seeing in this review...

Anyone follows this guy's reviews? With such small video and no voiceover, he made very good points with a nice summary. 

 

Hmm, I wonder where he got that "night shot" photo...

[edit] Also the one at 1:43, which "unexplainably" has no stickers.

Origins of another photo

[howitzer]

No new information in that review, and it appears that the maker just stole content from other reviewers. In addition to the "night shot" photo, the the text about the neon yellow also seemed familiar, apparently taken from some other review (I'm not sure which though).

From New Elementary, the same place those two photos were taken from: https://www.newelementary.com/2022/07/lego-technic-review-42145-airbus-h175.html

On the other hand, not everyone will like yet another colour in LEGO Technic, especially one as "loud" as neon yellow.

I generally just watch racing brick and sometimes Sariel, they seem to do the best job with a technics sets for me.

Same here. Additionally, I read New Elementary's reviews for their great insight on new parts and building techniques. I also generally prefer text+photos over a video but since Jim isn't doing reviews anymore, there aren't many good ones around...

I would love to get it, but I got the Galaxy Explorer, so I don't know if I should get a second pricey one this year.

Building this model is going to be so much fun. But i really don't like the neon-yellow parts.

So I will exchange them for white parts..

I "greebled" the missing new parts in the stud.io file  from @Ngoc Nguyen

 

I'm sure I going to like this set as much as I like 9396...

Why not actual yellow parts

[Johnny1360]

Anything but white, right, lol.

[AVCampos]

Perhaps because replacing white and neon yellow for regular yellow would make it too similar to the 9696?

I also like the white better and will be doing the same.  The neon yellow just don't fit IMO.  And I really don't see the problem others are having with white.  Even took a look at my UCS SW Imperial Shuttle the other day... I see no problems with it  Now a 10+ year old set... 

[BevHillsTrainer]

Ok, just got back from the Lego store with the “Choppa” and an impulse buy Camaro.   My weekend is set, lol.

[JunkstyleGio]

Why white?

I did not like other colorideas..

Black, Medium Blue (42066), Dark Azure (42070) also work.

Actually, the one on the left reminds me of Medicopter 117 :D

[AVCampos]

Why not dark grey and olive green?

[langko]

I quite like the white/red with the neon yellow deleted! I don't mind the all yellow either especially if a bit more black was added into it (maybe around the tail area), all red with black could look good too. Some combination of DBG/LBG/Black could also look cool if you wanted a more stealth type helicopter.

I highly doubt dark azure would work given the limited colour palette... It's annoying how we now have more connectors available in neon yellow than dark azure... and the dark azure colour has been out for wayyy longer.

Strange leftover part after baggies 2...

That part reminded me of this for some reason....

 

 

[howitzer]

Just replacing the neon yellow with white seems to work wonders. I think I'll do that with mine.

[AVCampos]

In the meanwhile, those of you that hate neon yellow can send the parts over to me: that'll help convince me to make a Technic M:Tron MOC.

I actually think neon yellow would be great for mining equipment!
