Kamov Ka-26 (NeOmega resin 1/48)


Recommended Posts

Excellent model of this important workhorse helicopter.

 

I f you want to see how it behaves in the air, here's an impressive display by a Ka-26 in cropdusting config:

 

It may look unwieldy and anachronistic on the ground but it's extremely manoevrable in the air. The Kamov coaxial rotor config also makes the helicopter much less sensitive in gusty conditions than its tail rotor brethren – one main reason that Kamov helis were preferred for Soviet Navy service.

 

Thank you, AC-Rus, for reminding us of this 55 year old, robust and agile servant (first flight in 1965) with such a superb model!

 

Kind regards,

 

Joachim
