Swiss Kamov - Ka-32 zvezda 1/72
Posted: Thu May 04, 2017 4:41 am
After the Ka 15 , rapidly another coaxial rotors russian helo on the workbench. This time no short run and not so small
Lately i received these nice decals from begemot that included about 60 possible helix family units between Ka-27/28/29/31/32
The first victim will be a swiss use Ka-32 (basikally ka-27 with civilian stuffs) used as fliyng crane and rescue operations

The kit used is the zvezda ka-27ps , heres box'n'sprues, theres no kits for the Ka-32
The kit is a mix of new sprues (fuselages , accessories, clear parts ) and old Ka-29 sprues (rotors, gears)
First intervention, the right window is wrong in shape and dept.
With a powerfull eyemeter i draft the correct shape and cut excess plastic. Then a mould for new clear part
heres the new one(s)
Shapening inner of the window. Before cutter work theres was just a rough depression
Rear bulkead modiefied, first version, after i chooce another modding way

Added a new floor
Also pilot and side door need a new window. In the pilot window theres need a full scratched door because original piece is a single clear part.
Moulds and new windows
After removed the upper cone (ir apparatus i think) after the rotor i noticed another little needed modify
this radome seems out contest in the red helo
cut off and a first filling
These are works from about two weeks, soon i'll post even the other helo recently started
At the next!
