Nice build. I agree that the KA-52 is a great looking helicopter.

[@willhendriks3059]

Excellent work, David, as always. Your channel is one of my favourites. I have been building models for 45 years, but every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new!

[@ivanivanov1782]

Most beautiful hellicopter!

[@idaemonplasmo]

Hmm, I do not know how to add the link into the video, so here it is facebook.com/DavidDamek42 I hope you will choose next model wisely :-D

[@tomf1934]

i would like to see you building the t72 m or the t80b it s up to you

[@idaemonplasmo]

I would like to build all these kits. You must help me decide which one. Las week won Nashron 1/72 Revell and it is almosts finished. Here are some photos from my progress. facebook.com/DavidDamek42/posts/1322142204507282

[@tomf1934]

PLASMO - plastic models so i think you should do the t72

[@idaemonplasmo]

ok, thanks for your opinion.

Nice work as usual! Humbrols enamel thinner is really nice to use when weathering, its very "non-aggressive" to the underlying paint IMO. and they are very prolific in europe AFAIK. I dilute my tamiya acrylics with tamiya acrylic or lacquer thinner depending on what i need to achieve, and work all washes with the humbrol thinner :)

[@idaemonplasmo]

Great and thanks for the info. Now I know what buy for next models.

Добрый день! Прошу подсказать... Когда режете ножом, изготавливая маску для остекления, борозды от ножа не остаются??? Спасибо

[@user.Manuel]

Нож должен быть очень острым, так можно контролировать глубину прореза ленты. Рука очень четко это чувствует,тут главное не давить сильно и следиьь чтобы рука не дрогнула. Если будут незначительные царапины они же закроются краской при окрашиванти кокпита

Praveze v poslednej dobe ako tak sledujem su ruske vertaloty spolahlivejsie ako tie europske a americke ale je pravda ze su specificke na vzhlad ale to su tajomstva ruskych aerodynamikov na druhej strane ale aj tak si myslim ze maju nieco do seba.

You should a huey gun ship but make it like the one from apocalypse now

[@eternalASV120]

Hi, David. Very impressive "alligator", even that the kit is not perfect at all, you made it look like its a real pricy kit with quality. And also I want to ask you for a little bit of help - tell me, besides of rescribing, did you remade those grills right on the top of the helicopter? I'm working on a Ka-50 now, and I'm having problems with some rised details like those grills and some other small parts with sanding (very rough surface, due to the fact its a very old kit from Zvezda). P.S.: Although I used to have an account on facebook, for now its unavailable because reasons, so I would like to vote here for IS-2 (or JS-2, dunno how to transliterate right ИС-2, lol), cause I know it would be a stunning build if you will build it. Especially the one with white stripes, 1944-1945.

[@idaemonplasmo]

It is a shame that I did not film part with top grill. I made new ones from epoxy putty. I made a small square from putty and then I imitated grill texture with a razor saw. It is same like here www.plasticmodels.eu/tipyatriky.php?article=22 . anyway IS-2 is a good choice.

[@eternalASV120]

PLASMO - plastic models, so its the same way as zimmerit... thanks a lot, I'll keep that in mind ;)

[@Luftangreifer]

You videos are amazing. One question. When masking clear parts, I sometimes get sticky stuff left on the parts after peaking the tapes off. What should I use to clear them? Using zippo oil slightly fogged the glass. Also, so you polish your clear parts after painting is finished?

[@TaFnIz]

Nice Model but why it has no target aquisition optics but Vikrs missiles, in this config it couldnt shoot the Vikrs?

[@ma.luisadestreza2392]

Do the Mi-24 or Mi-8 helicopter

[@ktotoad]

It is wierd that Alligator has decal with Black Shark name

[@codelicious6590]

I've not been able to justify getting an airbrush just yet; when painting 1/72 and 1/100 models with paintbrush, would you still recommend scribing the panel lines before any paint, or would it be better to do it after a base coat since the coats are so much thicker using brushes?

[@krustacean699]

Please make an old fashioned car or muscle car!

[@DixieNarcoEP]

wait-a-minute! 8:07 you used enamel wash on acrylic paint without clear varnish and not damaging it? how? tried that and it doesn't work on my kit. I usually clear lacquer coat the acrylic model before putting enamel wash and clean the excess paint with zippo liquid.

[@Aethain]

Úžasný jako vždy, mimochodem je možné si od tebe nechat něco postavit? A ještě dotaz, nechystáš se na Memorial Air Show k nám do Roudnice?

[@idaemonplasmo]

No, do Roudnice už to nestihnu. Jednou už jsem tam byl a bylo to super. Možná další ročník. Modely ve většině případu neprodávám a pokud, tak již hotové kousky. Osobně nerad beru objednávky. To člověka strašně svazuje a pak už to nedělá jako koníček.

[@romanmichtchenko7435]

Пошаговая инструкция сборки и покраски модели - отлично. Но зачем так перебарщивать с тонировкой. Особенно киль вертолёта. Посмотрите реальные фото вертолёта. Он у вас блестит как только что с завода вышел и не успел ещё так от эксплуатации загрязнится. Да и когда за долгое время краска выгорает, всё равно такого нет. Резюме: вы перестарались с тонировкой, смотрите фото реальных вертолётов. Удачи вам.

[@TheSwearingChef]

Do you have the Tiger Models BMPT-72 Terminator II kit? It's a very nice kit but a little too advanced for a beginner like me. Hoping to see that from you some day. Best Regards,

Raised rivets? What a hero you are! Congrats for this building. I'd like to suggest you to build the Zvezda Mi-35 1/72. Despite being a tougher bulding, it would be nice see both choppers side by side.

[@olivialambert4124]

I've always favoured the Ka-50. The Ka-50/52 is an incredibly innovative helicopter with a huge number of improvements to the traditional attack helicopter design. The key differences between the Ka-50 and 52 mostly rest on the Ka-50's innovation being rolled back to allow for export to users who aren't fond of some of the new ideas. Granted the changes probably are for the better in a lot of cases, but as long as I'm not flying it I don't have to care for practical realities.

[@ScottKenny1978]

I think the dual cockpit is much better. Allows the pilot to concentrate on not flying into the ground, and the gunner to chase targets. The US is still expecting two crew in their replacement helicopter program, FVL, and I am willing to bet that the US has better flight automation than the Russians.

[@olivialambert4124]

@@ScottKenny1978 There are some arguments between it and the answer is it really depends on the mission. As designed the KA-50 was looking primarily to pick off tanks with long range missile shots and secondarily to take hit and runs on infantry targets with mainly rockets and a little bit of guns. Frankly with the extra space and weight (cockpit, armour, infrastructure for gunner) I'd rather be in a 1 man helicopter considering the amount the KA-50 avionics help. In the long range anti-tank role the pilot rarely has to fly the helicopter and can mainly focus on the gunner role spotting targets as the flight systems are so effective. Its incredibly easy to hover, but similarly easy to keep to the doctrine of flying at 100-150km/h in a straight and level flight path as the avionics are mainly designed to assist with. Indeed the pilot can fly reasonably low with the avionics keeping altitude automatically, though that would be mostly for navigation. Against infantry the helicopter was intended for hit and run CAS strikes as the cold war didn't allow helicopters to sit on station due to MANPADS. Using rockets as designed, and as the Russians absolutely love using, the gunner is fairly useless anyway. With the gun the pilot can use HMS to point and shoot as required, and the mounting requires the pilot be involved in rotating the helicopter rather than a rotating mount as it provides a far more stable and accurate firing platform allowing the cannon to more effectively take out APCs and trucks from outside return fire range. A gunner would only be used for spotting targets, and that was intended to be done at long range where straight and level flying (great for autopilot) is the doctrine anyway. Of course the world shifted dramatically a decade after the helicopter was designed, longer for the Russian. Now the mission is primarily flying circles as top cover around a convoy, infantry, or important area whilst spotting and gunning threats, along with a very dynamic line of battle and far less tolerance for collateral damage. For this a gunner is absolutely needed just for tracking fast moving friendly soldiers alone, and a gunner is almost demanded for the close range, high angle off, accurate shots the modern battlespace needs. This means the KA-50 gun had to be changed to a more conventional style, the camera needed the ability to look at a miles larger angle, and suddenly instant pilot controls aren't absolutely required for every weapon system the aircraft uses unlike before. Basically the world is a different place. At the time and with the doctrine used both by American and Russian pilots the single pilot design was absolutely a big step in the right direction. As we can see with fixed wing aircraft America are slow to drop the unnecessary crew (eg. F-18) but I believe they absolutely would have had the mission stayed the same. The single pilot design was incredibly innovative and Russia made a major step forwards with it. As for flight control computers, you add what is required for the mission. With two crew a highly automated flight control system isn't required and so you'd very much expect a single pilot helicopter to have a significantly better system. As the mission changed everyone put more emphasis on the cannon and sensors with Russia making huge modifications towards both systems and America using extra ammo boxes strapped to the side as routine equipment. Its important not to miss all the historical context which made the single seat attack helicopter such a great idea.

[@ScottKenny1978]

@@olivialambert4124 my favorite snicker about the FVL program is that one design is the kamov coaxial rotor set, along with a pusher prop. Coaxial rotors allows greater lift, and higher speed because you don't lose all the lift on one side of the helo when airspeed approaches rotor tip speed.

[@IbnShahid]

I’d like a Kamov Ka-52 attack helicopter. If I had one I’d fly it to my old school. First I’d take out the labs and then I’d type into the attack computer “Mr Voroshilov, chemistry teacher.” Blow ‘im to bits. And then I’d go looking for Dimitri Glaskov. I’d be hovering just down the road from his house, there. And he’d see us, but I’d duck down behind the trees, and he thinks he’s safe right? And he’s just about to put the key in his front door, and I come up from behind the hedge - “HELLO YER BASTARD!” - He panics, right? And he goes in the house, so I get the 30 millimetre canon and I take out the fish pond, Koi carp in there a couple of rounds each, right? And then I just tilt the helicopter over to one side and the machine gun bullets is chewing up the drive, right? He comes out. “Oh no! Not me Aurus Senat! I’ve just had it resprayed!” I cut it in half, right? And then he goes “Ahhh!” He runs up onto the garage roof. I say “Right.This is for you, Dimitri.” He goes, “No, no!” He’s begging us, he’s begging us man, “No, please don’t!” BOOM!! And then I fly off to Kaliningrad and I just smash in the sea in a big ball of flames.
