Heres a smaller Kamov - Ka-15 Amodel 1/72
Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2017 12:16 pm
Lately i have too much helicopters on the workbench (last night finished a kiowa.. no wip here sorry 
), so to oviate to this i .. sterted another one 
This time not an easy game, a short run helo from Amodel , fortunately i get some experience few years ago with the Ka-18 that have the same rotor sprue and the way to run is clear.
Out of this i have a second version of the 15 (agrarian use) and the 126 from amodel , but this will be another story
Box'n'sprues:
From the box he seems as polar missions use, the kit included four plates, i suppose as rough landing pad surface.
Part of original cockpit glued
Now not original
fuselages, one with air intakes opened but..
In mind to put from inside a tiny web to replicate metal grids but the plastic is too thick. Resolved with dremel action
about half millimeter removed from the whole engine zone and more
Another problem, little windows are wrong, so i put a rectangular housing for plastic strips and shaped them (also in the picture i opened an upper air intake that the kit missed
ready
on the rorors:
the basement, the middle plate with eight holes done , and the IP
the middle plate again on one of blade controllers
Bottom rotor, seeing referencies pictures he needed to put upside down and remove disc at the base and mane a new one opposite side
both rotors with blades on
It's a short run, the i saved time to clean the numerous command rods and i started to scratch them with stretched sprues (none of my ready plastic rods was with the correct diameter :( )
Top rotor
bottom rotor. More challenge, the two plates will be supported only by rods (to keep the rotors turning) .. so i helped the operations with the main shaft to glue them in place
the upper plate only with two rods and two rectangular commands on the third side
The complete rotor after a whole day
the original rotor

Really tiny but good to see this accomplished
.. now in the stash remains to build only a Ka-15, a Ka-126, two Ka-25, two Ka-27 and two Ka-28 and probably more to come 
At the next!

looks like another beautiful project from you. I like the lighter against the sprues for comparison.
