The aviation of the army of
Poland replaced their Mi-24 for the Ka-52 in 2006, as part of the
process of modernization of the armed forces. Tthis model is the
helicopter 67 and "Poland" has been baptized as part of the
feasts of the national day of Poland (11th of November).
This is the 1/72 Revell kit
with mostly of the kit decals replaced (except for the decals that were
needed for this demonstrator scheme. I used Hasegawa figures for
the pilot figures and decals from the Polish version of the
MiG-29. It represents a version of the Ka-52 in case Poland had acquired
them.

The scope of the tasks
assigned to the commander liberates him from piloting the helicopter,
therefore the cockpit is a side by side configuration. The Ka-52,
it is the helicopter of combat multifunction thought with this
intention, with the modification of two seats, with regard to the Ka-50.
The well-off pilots of side
to side in the cockpit can demolish this helicopter and handle all the
systems of I approach. The K-52 preserved all the capacities of combat
of it's predecessor, including the armament. It is equipped
with an electronic integrated navigation system that controls it's multiple
weapons. It's active and passive systems
of search and observation make it possible to operate day or night in
any weather.
Externally, the K-52
differs from his predecessor in the front part of the fuselage, and in the
layout of the cockpit. The Ka-50 and the Ka-52 have interchangeability between
many components, and this leads to a reduction of the production costs in the series.
Naturally, the K-52 is costlier.
