Молодец обзор очень полезно !! Big thanks for link to my video more so for linking Mikhails build vlog which helped me a lot !! did you also order any Decals from ARMA? The technical stencils and decals were also AM parts that had to be ordered separately and the paint schemes are included at the ARMA shop on the page for the decals. Yes definitely replace most of the steps/ handles and aerial with wire ! The only 3d handles I added were 2 on canopy frame and the half circular ones on the fuselage near engines. With the vacuform transparencys I just cut out using sharp scissors. the main deal was pre-painting the canopy frame in black prior to gluing the clear acetate into the frames.... I used non-fogging superglue to do that. YES... also the masks are OK but not the best I was especially careful painting as they were lifting at the edges. ALSO... well the magnet mounting system works great on the smaller armament but on larger loads 6 x vichers they hold on but sort of wobble if you move the kit ! The landing gear is actually fine because the 3d printing makes a nice light hollow fuselage. ENJOY your build ! When I was in Arma shop Moscow they said they would release the kit in other scales... already the 72 scale version is on pre-order. BUT I was so hoping a 35th scale would come before that. Really looking forward to seeing the APACHE build the IDF one ... looks awesome !!
Of course - happy to share a fellow modeler's beautiful work. I unfortunately did not order any decals from ARMA - I believe they only had "specific" schemes, and I couldn't decide on one at the time. I will most likely use the Begemot KA-50/52 sheet. Most of the aircraft I saw in "active" service for the current conflict do not really carry many markings it seems - most are painted over. Just basic stencils in most cases. Correct me if I am wrong here. Good tips on the build...I've taken some notes from your experience. If I have any questions during the build, I will reach out to you for some assistance! The IDF Apache is in progress, will try to show some progress on this one soon.
@@worldinminiature5537 would be a pleasure to help in anyway ! yes operational aircraft have a lot of painted over bort numbers and markings also the yellow stencils seem to not be visible ! looking forward to Apache goodness !!
Lucky, lucky, lucky. Who wouldn’t love to have one of those kits. 3D printed. Amazing just looking at that detail. Way back in the 80s I always thought about having some type of tech that would 3D print a kit without your typical injection molds. Can you imagine another 10 more years and the stuff that could be done? The only “bad” part that I see is the vacuum canopy. My suggestion is to scan the instructions (by the way, nice touch on a color instruction booklet, and 3D views) and you can then copy and paste each line of text and use Google translate. Then, make it available as a .pdf doc to be downloaded. Thanks for the review and happy modeling. P.S. I believe it is the only helicopter in the world equipped with ejection seats.
Unfortunately I think it was a limited production - so you'll have to keep your eye out on eBay or the various Facebook/model forums for someone who might have picked up an extra.

That's a nice kit
there is a huge market to fill for the Russian military models. So hard to find anything Russian right now.
The RUclipsr the bear actually builds this up. Looks good built up.
Added a link to his build!

Hah! Begemot most likely... Since no Twobobs option!
