Hi there,
Just saw the review and want to thank you for it. As I'm interested in building a Ka-50, I was wondering about the Zvezda offering? It seems there are no real reviews or build logs of the Zvezda one out there or am I just looking the wrong direction?

I am in the middle of building mine and have found that the fuselage half fit is terrible, especially in the tail requiring lots of sanding.
This would be more of a problem if both fuselage halves had the same panel lines, but since they don't, recreating them is something I'd have to do anyway. It's the same problem on the Mi-8 -17 kits.
I will try to post some images later, but I've set the kit aside for a while now out of irritation with the molding.
Sorry.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs,
perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.

Thanks for the quick reply and I would be interested in pictures and your (in depth) opinion, indeed
