ElectroSoldier Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 On 12/12/2022 at 10:23 AM, Sergei Galicky, Russia said: The barrel of the gun in the kit is made of 3D resin, you can buy it separately from metal. The wheels of landing gear in the kit are less detailed, and can buy additionally with more details. The Ka-52, shot down in February, remained on the ground, the crew was evacuated by another Mi-24 that came to the rescue. There was another case of forced landing of the Ka-52. The crew was able to repair the helicopter on their own and flew away. P.S. Bonus - in progress pics I have been looking over the site with a view to placing a pre order for one or two of them. It mentions that the seats are plain, where can the alternate version be found? It also mentions that no or not many weapons will come with the kit. Where can these be found and do I need to order them when I place the pre order, or can I order them at a later date? I ask as I am not sure what weapons I would like to show it with. How long will the pre order last for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought maybe I should fly to Russia to buy this, but the State Dept says dont go, what do they know?

Never know they might jump at it gary I'd worry more about what our alphabet agencies would do, I think we might need an Underground Railroad or hopefully buy from a friendly nation, the kit looks amazing and I think with markings painted over its even more sexy, its the transfer of money that makes it difficult, I did buy a model car kit from Russia, I sent PayPal to their out of Russia account, it took a month to leave Russia, I've lost ability to track now package is in the US Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Looks fantastic but again this screams for a scale up to 1/35 or 1/32. how much is the kit in 1/48 anyway. it may be a while till this becomes available to us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andreas Beck Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 trade hinges could be Bulgaria, Serbia, Turkey, Cyprus, Israel, India, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Southkorea. I think the list can be expanded. But the retail price will easily double. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newtonk Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Yep, given this is in Russia, with all the difficulties of getting one over the border, in 1/48 scale, the Takom 1/35 Mil Mi 28, once available online, is looking more attractive. Or the Trumpeter Helix, which is available now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As i know not only KA-52 - all other Arma Models kits were sell only inside Russia. Edited February 18, 2023 by kotey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
