Hobbyboss 1/48 Ka-27 Helix

June 30, 2024 · in Aviation · · 18 · 306

A very well executed plastic kit by Hobbyboss. The model is highly detailed and the fit of parts is very good. Yet, the building process is challenging due to the complexity and delicacy of components, particularly the main landing gear and counter rotors hub.

  1. Excellent looking chopper. You are a machine my friend. Keep cranking them out.

  2. Seems indeed like a challenging kit, but you build it excellently, Rafi @blackmopane
    Well done.

  3. What a fantastic result, Rafi!
    Congratulations!

  4. Superb finish on a complex build, Rafi. I have one of these in my stash, so I appreciate the inspiration. I think your weathering is spot on for the more recent low viz finish. I will probably do the old high viz colour scheme some day - maybe Ukrainian.

  8. Another beauty!

  9. Ah Rafi @blackmopane - you've knocked this one out the park man - it's amazing. I love the weathering. Man that landing gear looks sp fragile though.
