Features and set contents

The set consists of a high-grade resin element that allows for much more accurate reproduction of the Ka-50 "Black Shark" helicopter’s main cannon. The resin parts feature crisp detailing, delicate rendition of barrel cooling perforations, and realistic weapon mounting mechanism details. The set does not include a metal barrel; however, the quality of the resin casting guarantees an excellent visual effect once properly finished.

History of the original

The Kamov Ka-50 (NATO reporting name: Hokum A) is a Russian attack helicopter designed at the end of the Cold War era. Production began in the 1990s, and the first helicopters entered operational service with the Russian Armed Forces in 1995. Although the Ka-50 was produced in limited numbers, it made its mark in military aviation history thanks to advanced technical solutions, such as its unusual coaxial rotor system and integrated heavy armament, including the 30mm 2A42 autocannon—the very component this set allows you to replicate.
