Yes, sorry but a bit to expensive for me as well.

If it had been around the £30 mark like Kitty Hawk's Viper and Venom then it would be a no brainer.

>> Beautiful kit mind you.

However, an astonishingly inaccurate one, as it would appear from comparison with photographs of a real Ka-27.

Here's a kit review on a Russian site: http://scalemodels.ru/articles/8666-obzor-HobbyBoss1-48-ka-27---dopros-s-pristrastiem-chast-2---jeksterer.html

Although all texts are in Russian, some of the pictures speak for themselves.

I believe that's because brands of the Wasan Plastic Model Co are just "2D-to-3D converters". No effort to check the reference material (drawings are often an interpretation of a real subject, not a precise transcription of it) nor if it could have been misinterpreted in the CAD model. Add to this the high price (this way other companies have the opportunity to do better... keep up the high prices guys :goodjob: ) and you can guess how frequently I buy their kits. Accurate kits are accidents.

Well on the one hand that's some money saved but still no decent Kamov marine helicopter in 48th..... I've been debating which KH kit to get it may be both now :winkgrin:

True but KH's design process evolved contrarly to Trump's or HB's. And the pricing is more reasonable also. For me KH gets the cookie.

Heli-Resin Kits is preparing to release four sets of add-ons for the Ka-27 model from HobbyBoss.
These additions will help to make a Ka-27PS and Ka-32 helicopter version from the original HobbyBoss set.

 Let's start in order.
- TS 48005 set - System SLG-300. In the kit, parts are cast from resin with high quality workmanship and elaboration of details typical of the manufacturer. The cost of the set is about 450 rubles.

 In the foreseeable future, the range of add-ons for the Ka-27 48 scale model will be significantly expanded. 

At the moment, the TS 48005 and TS 48007 sets are already available for ordering from the manufacturer or here  http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/viewtopic.php?t=76508 

But the TS 48028 and TS 48092 sets will have to wait a bit. The exact dates will be known a little later.
