Kamov Ka-56 'Wasp' (experimental super-small helicopter) (homemade 1:48)


Recommended Posts

Hello! I present to the attention of the visitors, another one of my homemade Kamovyh line. The model was built from various plastics (PVC, economy panel plugs, cable ducts, sprue, etc.) and wires of different cross section. 
Paint and varnish with a brush. Paints: Gunze Sangyo urethane acrylic, Tamiya lacquer. 
Good viewing.

Very interesting and really unique subject! Next great modelling! 

You have forced me to read more about it, just to know http://www.aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/ka-56.php, so many thanks for it... :)

So the story is that it was constructed but never flown due to lack of proper rotary engine...

Second interesting news is that a kit of this machine exists in  1/48!

That is brilliant; very unusual and nicely made.

 

It looks completely terrifying, speaking as someone who has spent about 5 1/2 hours strapped into the front of a 10 tonne helicopter today! I don't think I would be too happy about flying with a rotary engine tucked up between my legs...

JWM,Thank you. I didn't know there was such a set. Even if I had, I would have built one anyway. )

That's beautiful! Superb work.

 

I want one. Dad's not a fan of gyrocopters so maybe he'd be happier with me flying one of these...

Amazing scratch-building!

Not something I would volunteer to fly, but that's just me.
