Title: Kamov Ka 31
Post by: chriswil42 on March 21, 2022, 03:27:53 PM
Started this one at the playday yesterday. The plastic is not as soft as some Amodel kits. The parts are relatively thick with a fair amount of cleaning up required.

Cockpit assembly and engine assembly done. There's a bit of fettling to be done.

Like grumpy said a bit of filling, but will come out really good as always.

The carpet monster is ALWAYS on the look out for bits, and he always goes for the bits that are the most difficult to replace  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

There must be a whole lot of kit bits somewhere in the modelverse.

Too true. Model coming along nicely Chris. Don't you just love building twin head rotors?

Fuselage complete. As you can see quite a bit of filling required.

Complete - as seen at the last club meeting. A reasonable model with a fair bit of cleaning up of parts required. Finished with mr hobby paints.
