The Ka-27 (NATO Codename:Helix) was designed as an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and utility helicopter for use aboard Soviet Navy vessels, similar to the Kaman SH-2 Seasprite. Designed by the Kamov Experimental Design Bureau (OKB), the Ka-27 was the successor to the Ka-25 (NATO Codename:Hormone) though retains many of the features of the Ka-25 in order to fit within the existing shipboard hangar space and confined flight decks. One of the design features of the Kamov OKB is the coaxial main rotor blades which eliminate the need for a tail (anti-torque) rotor.
The Ka-27PL is the primary shipboard variant for the ASW and utility roles and an updated version is tentatively identified as Ka-27M. The Kamov OKB also produced the Ka-27PS which replaces the ASW equipment for a winch in the Search and Rescue (SAR) mission. Kamov also produced the Ka-29TB as the combat assault version of this airframe. The Ka-27 has been exported to a variety of countries around the world as has been the Ka-32 which is the 'civilian' version of the Ka-27.
HobbyBoss has released the first kit of the Ka-27 in 1/48 scale. This kit is molded in light gray styrene and presented on 10 parts trees plus a single tree of clear parts and one small fret of photo-etched parts. Among the features and options:
Nicely detailed flight deck
Impressive main cabin with equipment racks and ASW crew station
Positionable flight deck doors
Positionable main cabin door
Detailed coaxial main rotor
Steel shaft provided for core of axial main rotor mast
Rotor blades are molded with droop
Detailed landing gear
Nice array of antennas and exterior grab handles
Photo-etch provided for vent screens
The one thing missing in this kit are crew restraints (seatbelts/shoulder harnesses) for the four crew seats in the aircraft.
