Good evening comrades, with the Peashooter now in the display cabinet, it's time for my next build. A complete change of era and theme was needed and so I decided it was time for me to leave the capitalists and imperialists behind and (re) build Airfix's Kamov Ka25 Hormone in 1/72. This is a kit I had built before in the last century as a teenager and I thought I could have a better result if I try again now (as well as getting lost in a trip down memory lane). My intention is to keep it as simple and easy as possible. The kit comes in typical 80s Airfix hard and brittle plastic with raised panel lines and details. So, some rescribing will be required... Mind you, some are actually raid on the actual aircraft as well. Like for example here on the vertical fins: The interior is a bit... basic: But the main rotors (heads/hubs, pitch links, blades etc) are not that bad: The landing gear is kinda OK I guess when you have cleaned all the flash ...but the (optional) floats leave a lot to be desired: Finally the clear parts are clear enough but some have bubbles in them: The decal sheet covers two options: ...but I'm not sure if I'll use it. After all it's like 40 years old. Looks OK though. I'll go for a run-of-the-mill grey example from the late 70s - early 80s. So, lets get to it. I hope you find this to be of interest. As always, thank you for looking and thanks for leaving a comment.
