Kamov Ka-29 "Helix"

[otftch]

Russian Kamov KA-29 Naval/Assault chopper. Kit is 1/72 from Zvesda. Not a bad kit if you can decipher the instructions.(I'm still not sure about the hand holds. I think the contra-rotating rotors are awesome.

Nice one Ed. Always thought the Kamov was a mean- looking brute.

Well done, esp in that scale.

Nice work again Ed! How did you find the construction and fit of parts?

 

[Hotntot]

Fab work otftch. You're a 1/72 guru alright. (I've not ventured into that scale myself).Very nice.

 

[otftch]

THank you all for your comments.

How did you find the construction and fit of parts?

A lot of flash and constant trimmning and fitting of parts, but all in all a good kit.No major problems, no putty ! The only thing I'd warn you about is the plastic is soft, so be careful when cutting off spurues and sanding. Decals are like Airfix.
