In 1977 Russian constructors started developing a new helicopter - the fighter KA-50. At that time the only main helicopter was the MI-24. This military chopper was not as good as American helicopter Apache, which was state of the art at that time. New technology allowed the helicopter to move to the side (basically "to slide") with the speed of 80 km/h (about 50 MI/h), move backward with the speed of 90 km/h (about 56 MI/h). It can change the direction of flight within just few seconds. KA-50 is the only helicopter in the world that can float in the air for 12 straight hours. KA-50 has antitank controllable supersonic weapons "Vihr". It is able to hit targets that are on the ground as well as the ones that are in the air moving with the speed of 800 km/h (500 MI/h) The pilot's cabin and the gas tank are extremely protected. The pilot of a KA-50 is located in a completely armored cabin and is able to eject at any speed or altitude. The helicopter is able to keep flying on one motor if one of the two motors has been destroyed. The exhibition of this helicopter in the summer of 1982 amazed foreign experts, they said that is not just a good helicopter, it is a new movement toward helicopter design as well as the air force. That is why it was known in the Russian army as the helicopter of the 21-century. BuyRussia.net team is sure that if you get one of these model kits it will decorate your house for years. It could be a perfect gift for your friend. Please note these toys come in parts, so when you buy one, you will have to glue them together. Also, the glue and stickers come in the box with the model kit. The producers of this model are suggesting you to paint the helicopter, so it looks more realistic. However, they did not provide the paint. That, in our opinion, will give you more freedom of choice of what you want the model to look like, and it is an excellent way to expand your creativity. Paint buckets from "Zvezda" (the same factory that makes the kits) you will be able buy separately, for only $1.95 per bucket in our store.
