1/72 Kamov KA-29

Hi folks,

just finished this Zvezda kit, (before some people get on their soapbox about the war in Ukraine i bought this kit many years ago and don’t view it’s purchase as funding the current conflict).

it’s not bad, their is no point detailing the cockpit or creating a troop compartment as you can’t see much through the windows.

the double rotorblades was a little fiddly to build and the rocket pod attachments aren’t great.

Great work!I love unguided rocket projectile a lot. Don’t be so serious about whose production~ Modelling is borderless.
Nobody will figure out where the model company owner really spend this money on,Russian chocolate ,American Cola,or even alien spaceship🛫

it’s good to see you are so open minded but there is a small minority that thinks we should boycott every product coming out of Russia.

Looks great. It’s not an easy kit and the rotor mast is less than ideal.

That just looks like a difficult kit- the double rotors, the glazing at the front, the landing gear and those tricky looking wing stubs! It’s a mighty fine job you’ve done with it I think- the grey camo and details look great with the various details picked out with skill. Particularly the individual rocket heads!

@Karl187 yeah the front wheels are very delicate and need to be removed from the sprues with great care.

Very nicely done!
Have to admit I’ve always thought Kamov’s contra-rotating helicopters were very cool looking. Many moons ago I had the old Airfix KH-25 hanging from bedroom ceiling. Built for me by a relative.

It’s an ugly little thing, but you did great!!!

it’s like a lot of Russian stuff it’s F-UGLY but some how they’re appealing.
