Trumpeter 05119 1/35 Russian Ka-52 Alligator Hokum B

Kamov Ka-52 Alligator is an all-weather combat helicopter developed by Kamov Design Bureau. The Ka-52 is a twin-seat version of the Ka-50 helicopter. It has been designed to attack armoured and unarmoured ground targets and low-speed air targets.

Based on the Ka-50 airframe, the front fuselage section of the Ka-52 was redesigned to incorporate a two-seat side-by-side cockpit. The Ka-52 features a wider nose due to reduced cockpit armour and the nose-mounted radome. The 30mm cannon and six wing-mounted hardpoints of the Ka-50 were retained in the Ka-52. The helicopter has a catapult crew rescue system integrating an ejection and rocket-parachute.

The Ka-52 has six external wing stores for anti-tank missiles, rockets and air-to-air missiles.

Radar systems are mounted on the nose respectively. Samshite night / daytime thermal sighting system is housed in spherical turrets below the nose.
