Today I will tell you more about Zvezda 1/144 Ka-52 Alligator (7429). Model continues line of the small scale releases from the famous brand. Such boxings might be interesting not only for experienced modeler, but also for younger ones who would like to try their hand in the hobby. Overall packaging is rather simple, so all frames are sealed into one plastic bag. Helicopter doesn't need an extra introduction in my opinion, let's open everything and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with useful book for such build.

Watch this video where I show all parts even closer.
Yes, model stand is included in the standard package, so you won't have to worry on how to display your build. Whole design is rather simple, but this thing will still be very helpful.
Helicopter parts are molded out of dark green plastic. Here you can see left fuselage half, which is also designed with tail fin. Attachment points are quite thin and should be easy to cut through.
Another half is on the next sprue. Inside you will find guiding elements which should make it easier to get everything together. Note that wing comes as one-piece element.
Main rotor blades are molded as single parts as well, and you can see them on two photos here. Engine compartment comes as separate block which should be installed on fuselage.
Last green frame has some cockpit and armament parts. Overall parts division makes sense and should be easy to combine together.
Clear parts include only one - canopy main section. Molding quality is great, but there are no masks included. Decals sheet is not that big, but you will find full numbers registry there. Printing quality looks nice for this size.
Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.
New tiny helicopter should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is a great choice if you don't have space for a bigger build. Standard package looks fine and should be quick to assemble. Kit also offers snap-fit assembly, and that's why I was mentioning young modelers as well. Yes, clear parts masking might take some time, but final result should be worth it. :)
