Injection-molded plastic kit of the Kamov Ka-27 Helix (1:48) from Hobby Boss: the Russian naval helicopter with coaxial rotors and rich detail.
Responsibility details are not available.
Large injection-molded plastic kit of the Russian Kamov Ka-27 naval helicopter, NATO reporting name Helix, in the large 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. The kit is richly broken down: molded in gray plastic on a number of sprues, with clear parts for the cabin glazing, a small photo-etched part and a metal rotor shaft. Its characteristic feature is the pair of coaxial contra-rotating rotors, thanks to which the machine needs no tail rotor. The model therefore offers a lot of detail, including the cabin.
The Kamov Ka-27 is a Russian shipborne helicopter intended mainly for anti-submarine work and for rescue and liaison duties from the decks of warships. It follows on from the older Ka-25 and carries the typical signature of the Kamov design bureau: two coaxial main rotors turning against each other, which cancel out the torque reaction and make a tail rotor unnecessary. The layout shortens the machine and suits cramped ship decks.
The large scale rewards finishing and painting the cabin before the fuselage is closed. Use a thin cement on the plastic and seat the metal rotor shaft firmly so that the coaxial heads stay aligned. Take your time over the assembly of the two contra-rotating rotors, because that is the visual essence of the machine. Apply a primer before painting; naval gray schemes suit an airbrush, and the panel lines can be accentuated with a wash and light drybrushing on the edges.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
