Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter Reviews
Brick Fanatics
“Easily the largest LEGO Technic helicopter ever produced – by some margin – the new 42145 Airbus H175 Rescue Helicopter has the potential to be something special. It’s also the first helicopter to be modelled on a real-world design (we’re going to turn a blind eye to the... More ill-fated Bell Boeing V22 Osprey from 2020). It’s a set that will be relished by experienced Technic collectors combining, as it does, a great display model with a challenging build.”
New Elementary
“Right off the bat, I can tell you this is the most mechanically realistic – and complex – LEGO helicopter to date. Therefore to begin, so you can better appreciate what it brings and some of the specific technical terms I'll be using, here is a very brief introduction about... More some of a helicopter's controls.”

About Technic
TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
