1/72 Airfix Kamov Ka-25 Hormone

This is the Kamov Ka-25 in scale 1/72 based on the already ageing Airfix kit. This kit was a long time the best available Kamov helicopter kit, even before the the russian and ukranian company's started with their Kamov series. The parts have a great fit, a pitty is that the clear parts are too thick. I made some improvements in the cockpit area and the rotor mast. The rotor blades were placed in transportaion modus. The light blue painting was applied using my airbrush and was a mix of Xtracolor colours. The decals are from the Airfix kit.

Thats a nice job. Great

Thats a nice job. Great subject. Those Russian helos ...men, they look different. I would love for someone (Trumpeter) to have this helo done in scale other than 1/72.

Beautiful!! A superb build-up!

What did you do to improve the look of the fuel tanks?? They don't look like the kit parts, if I recall correctly...

Beautiful work on the rotorheads - very convincing!

Kamov Ka-25.....

Hi Flugi, Great looking model, your posed pic's really set off the model. These Kamov kits certainly benefit from some work on the rotorhead, the kit parts being overscale. Regards Colin 'Heloman' Burgess
