Kamov KA50 Hokum Russian Combat Helicopter

I was very excited to build this kit, because I find the Ka-50 to be a very interesting helicopter compared to other attack helicopters around the world. In fact, I had trouble finding a kit of it anywhere else, which is what brought me to hobbylinc and I am now a returning customer. To start, the directions were very good, simple maybe, but to the point none the less. There was nice detail in the assembly pictures, so I didn't have to look at a lot of reference picture when putting it together. There are only two large spurs for the entire kit along with one for the clear pieces. The decals were very easy to work with, and adhered well. The only issues I had were, some seams on some pieces like the air-to-ground missiles and pylons. There was also a lot areas that need filling with putty, but it wasn't very difficult to get access to those areas and then smooth them out. Over all, the kit went together well regardless of needing to fill gaps and remove seams to allow pieces to fit better. The whole building process went smoothly and relatively quick, and most of all I enjoyed this kit by Italeri. I would not think twice to recommend this kit to anyone that was interested in this attack helicopter.
