Hey up

Looking for the A-Model Kamov Ka-31 Helix AEW Helicopter, if any body has a spare one they are willing to part with or have seen one in their LMS.

Cheers

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

And then there's the cost of the therapy you'll need after trying to build it... <_<

I've built a fair few A-Model kits and to be honest I've always enjoyed them.......in the end. Seriously take your time and they are ok. Some of the early ones might turn you to drink  :cheers: but the more recent ones are fine
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I have just looked on here for you Geoff, as I get a lot of stuff from here, but the kit is out of stock. If you ask, he might be able to get you one, and they are reasonable and reliable too http://modelsua.com/Kamov-Ka-31-Soviet-helicopter.html

Yes, one of A Models' peaks in difficulty of building. Did the committee who designed the fuselage bits ever actually talk to the one doing the wings?  :unsure:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Both of the above perhaps?  :lol:
