We present the unique plastic model kit A-Model 72130 Kamov Ka-226 Russian Ambulance helicopter in 1/72 scale, a faithful replica of a modern Russian multipurpose helicopter used as an air ambulance. This model is dedicated to aviation enthusiasts, helicopter collectors, and modelers looking to enrich their collection with a modern rescue machine.

Historical background and application

The Kamov Ka-226 is a light, twin-rotor multipurpose helicopter developed by the Russian Kamov design bureau. It first took to the skies in 1997. Its modular design allows for installation of various utility cabins, such as ambulance, reconnaissance, or transport, making it an extremely versatile machine. In the ambulance version, the Ka-226 has been used in Russia and by rescue services in CIS countries, participating in medical missions from the late 1990s up to the present day. The specialist medical cabin enables fast transport of the injured or sick and allows basic life-saving procedures to be carried out during flight.
