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.

How to Use

Follow these steps to enhance your Ka-29 model:

  1. Inspect the Trumpeter Ka-29 kit, removing any molded seatbelt elements to accommodate the new photo-etched parts.
  2. Use precision nippers or a hobby blade to detach each belt segment from the double-sided brass plate.
  3. Bend or shape the belts using tweezers or a photo-etch tool, referencing the detailed instructions.
  4. Secure each piece with cyanoacrylate (CA) glue for a robust, long-lasting hold.
  5. Optionally, paint or weather the belts to align with historical references or personal preference.
  6. Consult documentary evidence for accurate color schemes and seatbelt configurations.
