Kamov Ka-27 "Helix" Kit Card

The Kamov Ka-27, also known by its NATO reporting name "Helix," is a Soviet-designed naval helicopter introduced in the late 1970s. Developed by the Kamov Design Bureau, it is a twin-engine, coaxial rotor helicopter designed for anti-submarine warfare (ASW), search and rescue (SAR), and maritime reconnaissance missions. Its compact design, enabled by the absence of a tail rotor, makes it ideal for operation on ships with limited deck space. The Ka-27 remains in service with several countries, including Russia, India, and China, and has proven to be a versatile and reliable platform for various naval operations.

Printing Info

There are two versions you can print, one and without a sprue. If you have problems with the rotating rotors or you dont like it, there is also a fixed version under “seperate”. You can also print all parts seperatly. Happy printing!

Building Info

When you print the not-fixed version, the rotor might be stuck initially. Attach it to the fuselage and then wiggle carefully back and forth till its loose. Press the bottom rotor down all the way. To add the upper one, I suggest flipping the rotor and laying it on a flat surface. Then press the axle in from above to make it sit flush.
