Title: Kamov Ka-25
Post by: Nick on December 16, 2003, 02:42:45 PM
Got lucky at the club meeting last night (we had a Xmas special with a quiz!) and picked up an Airfix KA-25 Hormone helo*, the one with a big chin-mounted radar.
Not sure what to do with it but thought of a nose mounted cannon instead of the radar, maybe Polish or Spetznaz markings/colours.

Or, and this is the really cunning idea, do it as it says on the box and mix it with all the what-ifs at the big shows just to confuse the JMNs a bit more... <_<

What do you say, Comrades?

ASW - nah, too typical.
AEW - eh.
SAR - maybe.
Armed assault helicopter escort! Chin turret, rockets, chain gun in the door.

Actually, I have though of obtaining a Ka-50/52 for such a task. They are menacing-looking aircraft, and surely would send decadent capitalist soldiers running for cover when they appeared over the beach!

Up the revolution!

I had a similar idea for a AMT Ka-50, still have yet to hunt down a kit though.
