1/48 Italeri Ka-50 'Hokum'

Here are some photos of my recently finished 1/48th scale Italieri KA-50 Hokum. Because of the kit's fit, it proved to be a difficult project.

The cockpit was detailed with an Eduard KA-50 Photo etch set, and I replaced the kit seat with a True Details K-36 ejection seat. The seat was modified to resemble the K-37 seat used in the Hokum.

Additionally, I replaced the rotor system pitch change links with scratch built ones made from brass tubing and fine plastic rod. The pitot tubes were also fashioned from brass
tube.

I used Tamiya Acrylics mixed to my own exact colors.
