1:72 Scale Plastic Model – Kamov Ka-50 Black Shark Attack - Scout Helicopter – Fuselage Length: 8.5"  Rotor Span: 8”

This model is a single seat model. No pilot figure is included. The cockpit is glued shut. The landing gear is fixed in the extended position.

This plastic model is mostly assembled and painted. There is some minor assembly required. The propeller blades need to be attached to the main rotor. The attachment does not need glue but the pieces are very small and fragile and patience and a level of dexterity is needed. The fitting of the parts are held in place by friction alone but depending on the particular model, one might need to add a tiny smear of glue to hold pieces in place or on the other hand, sand/scrape some material make pieces fit.

This is not a toy. Recommended for 15 and up.
