1:72 Kamov Ka-52 - Panels Hinge (for Dream Model and Quinta Models Kits)

Quinta Studio Kamov Ka-52, panel hinges (1:72)

A set of relief elements from Quinta Studio for a model of the Kamov Ka-52 attack helicopter. The elements, made by 3D printing, reproduce the hinges of the service and access panels on the surface of the airframe, which on plastic models tend to be merely suggested or missing altogether. The set is intended for Ka-52 models in 1:72 scale.

The real subject

The Kamov Ka-52 Alligator is a Russian two-seat attack helicopter with a characteristic coaxial rotor system of two contra-rotating rotors. The number of panels and service hatches on its airframe makes fine details such as hinges a prominent visual element of a model.

Use

• Cut the elements from the sheet and set them with tweezers on the appropriate panels according to their real positions.
• Check the method of attachment in the manufacturer's instructions; wash and degrease the surface beforehand so that the element beds down over its whole area.
• Once dry, the details can be tied in with their surroundings using a clear coat or light emphasis with a wash.

Who the set is for

For modelers who want to add fine, faithful panel hinges to the surface of a helicopter and so raise the realism of a smaller model.

This is a modeling accessory, not a kit. The model itself and glue are not included in the package.
