KA-52 je višenamenski borbeni helikopter, predviđen za dejstva u svim vremenskim uslovima i na velikim nadmorskim visinama specifičnim za planinska područja. Projektovao ga je biro “Kamov”na osnovu jednoseda KA-50. Prepoznatljiv je po koaksijalnom rotoru karakterističnom za helikoptere Kamov. Takođe koristi i katapultirajuća sedišta Zvezda K-37. Posebna pažnja pri projektovanju posvećena je otpornosti na borbena oštećenja. Veći deo Kamova izgrađen je od kompozitnih materijala. Kabina ima posebnu zaštitu koja je urađena kombinacijom oklopnih ploča koje štite od pogotka kalibra 32 mm. Staklo pilotske kabine štiti od kalibra 12.7 mm. Glavna namena mu je dejstvo po oklopno-mehanizovanim ciljevima na zemlji, kao i dejstvo po niskoletećim ciljevima. Posadu čine dva pilota od kojih je jedan oficir za oružje. U upotrebu je uveden 2011. godine. Ovo je bio kratki uvod o ovom moćnom letećem oružju. Više podataka naravno možete pronaći na netu. Dugo najavljivana i dugo očekivana Zvezdina maketa, ugledala je svetlost dana. U prilično velikoj i dobro zaštićenoj kartonskoj kutiji, nalazi se preko 380 delova sive plastike. Sve je urađeno do perfekcije, detalja ima na pretek, a date su i nitne na maketi tako da nema potrebe nabavljati posebno nitne od drugih proizvođača. Sastavnica je kao i većina Zvezdinih, pregledna i prilično jasna. Bojenje je po Zvezdi i po Tamiji, pa ko šta lakše može da pronađe i nabavi ili ko šta više voli. Dekale je potpisala Zvezda i deluju vrlo dobro. Šema bojenja I označavanja data je za tri verzije. Kako više volim da u recenzijama koristim fotografiju, tako ću i ovog puta staviti fotke sa šemom bojenja i označavanja pa pogledajte. Zaista jedna vrhunska maketa, bar na prvi pogled ovako u kutiji. Uz puno fotki koje prilažem uz recenziju, najbolje ću dati mišljenje kada krenem sa sastavljanjem, kao i uvek do sada. Ceo projekat u radu možete pratiti na našoj fejs stranici, a uskoro i na našem sajtu. Preporučujemo ovu moćnu maketu svim ljubiteljima helikoptera, a i šire. Zahvaljujemo se Zvezdi na ustupljenoj maketi za recenziju. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… KA-52 is a multirole all-weather, high-altitude combat helicopter, designed to combat in mountainous areas. It is a project from Kamov constructor bureau, based on a single seat helicopter KA-50. It is recognizable due to coaxial rotor, which is a trait of Kamov helicopters. It also uses ejection seats Zvezda K-37. Special attention during project and design stage was dedicated to resistance to combat damage. Most of the helicopter was built from composite materials. Cockpit has a special protection which combines armor plating and composite materials and it can withstand a hit from a 32 mm rounds. Cockpit glass surfaces protect from the 12.7 mm hits. The main purpose of this helicopter is engaging armored and mechanized targets on the ground, as well as low flying targets. Crew consists of two pilots, one of which is armament officer. It was introduced to units in 2011. This was a short intro about this powerful flying weapon system. More data of course is available online. Long announced and awaited Zvezda model has finally become available. In rather big and sturdy cardboard box there are more than 380 parts in grey plastic. Everything is casted almost perfectly, with ample of detail, and with rivets given on the model, so there is no need for the aftermarket rivets. Instruction sheet is clear and pretty straightforward, as is with majority of Zvezda instructions. Painting is given with Tamiya and Zvezda paint codes, to modeler’s personal preference. Decals are made by Zvezda and they seem to be good. Paint scheme is given for three versions. Since I like to use photography more than words in my reviews, I will put photos of the paint scheme, so take a look. This is really one extraordinary model, at least upon the first glance in the box. There are a lot of photos with this review so everyone can check this statement. Detailed opinion will be available when the assembly starts, as it was the case before. The whole WIP will be available on our Facebook page, as well as on our website. We would like to recommend this model to all helicopter fans, but to other modelers as well. We would like to thank Zvezda for providing a model for this review.
