Historical Background
The Kamov Ka-29 is a naval assault and transport helicopter developed for the Soviet Navy in the early 1980s. Built to operate from ships, the Ka-29 features a coaxial rotor system, compact dimensions, and specialized equipment for amphibious operations. Its seatbelt system, crucial for securing crew and troops during maneuvers, was designed to handle the stresses of ship-based takeoffs and landings. By adding this photo-etched kit, you pay tribute to an essential part of Soviet naval aviation history, faithfully replicating the interior details that played a vital role in the Ka-29’s operational success.
