Sergei Galicky, Russia Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Hi! The fuselage will be cast in one piece, for assembly it will be necessary to separate only the supports used in 3D printing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sergei Galicky, Russia Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Hi all! Some parts are given in duplicate - this is a test print to determine the most optimal position of the parts and their supports, according to the results of the assembly for such parts, one option will be selected. The same applies to different colors of the polymer, in the series there will also be one and most likely not black. There are no rotor blades, cannons and transparent parts, this are still in production. Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Looking great Sergei. Does the fuselage have a solid or hallow core? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's reasonable to do this not as a solid part, otherwise the polymer consumption will be very large. Therefore, the fuselage is hollow inside, the fuselage thickness is 1.5 mm, and all weight is 64 grams. Edited November 17, 2022 by Sergei Galicky, Russia Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Thanks for the information. My main concern was if the legs could support the frame over time. Seems like that might not be an issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DarkKnight Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) this is so beautiful and exciting to see, needs pilot figures! I wonder if Ka-52 pilots carry small arms like our Apache and Cobra crews do Edited November 17, 2022 by DarkKnight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solher1 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Hi Sergei, Could you buy the kit for some of us and ship it to us? I am sure there are other modeller who would be interested in doing it. Just a thought. Thank you. j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rotorman Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Scale it up to 1/35 and you can take my money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kotey Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Some of Western modellers can get very upset about this model - decals will be with Z letters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newtonk Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Risky assumption that. I'll buy it for the 'Z' option in 1/35. The Takom Mil Mi 28 Havoc will also find its way into my stash, complete with 'Z' markings. And, I have a Hind on the bench that will be finished in Z with three white stripes on the tail boom. Using the Lem Kit 24P conversion. Edited November 19, 2022 by Newtonk Add info Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably so, however if a modeler wants to model today’s history being made, their choice on what they build, then they would need those markings. I assume they can leave off the Z and model the helicopter stationed elsewhere in Russia or before the conflict. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkKnight Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Or those who dont want the z can just not buy it. Perhaps they can build models and leave off swastikas or hinomarus. Being a modeler to me is duplicating history, and i for one applaud the decision to make accurate markings. This is turning out to be a world class project with tons of imagination and options, I hope we can find a way to get it here in the US. As it is 3d printed i wonder if it can be easily produced in 1/35 also. I would like markings to depict operational aircraft, in the US we only get to see shot down Russian equipment. I don’t build damaged equipment. I love the figures, Think I’d combine them to make seated pilots with visors down. I would also like to have modern Z markings for 1:48 Hind.

Is payment from a Mexican bank could be accepted for example? Helmsman, any suggestion? Thank you. j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you. j According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWIFT_ban_against_Russian_banks just 7 Russian banks are sanctioned so any other bank should be able to accept incoming wires. So I think if American/Mexican/whatever western bank would agree to wire money to Russian bank then Sergey can help you to purchase virtually anything in Russia. This won't be cheap though, outbound wire usually is not free ($20-40 in US as far as I know) plus shipping is easily another $15-30.

I would gladly do this, but sadly I think it might be harder than this. I hope we can find a way to get this amazing kit. In the meantime "Gator on the Rise" by Mlandenov is a pretty good reference book so far Edited November 20, 2022 by DarkKnight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsman Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) This is possible. Banks probably can impose their own limitations to be in line with mainstream narrative or just to cover their butt. I'd start with checking wich bank would agree to wire money to Russia. Maybe this would help: https://letsrussia.com/how-to-send-money-to-russia-and-from-russia-in-2022/ Edited November 20, 2022 by Helmsman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
