I love it when KZreadrs show their faces

No doubt, no matter how small is a scale model, all depend on David Damek's outstanding models. A 1/72 for a helicopter is challenging but you sir have done a piece of art. My compliments.

I can watch this videos and immerse myself on the builds and when they are finished I get the sense of accomplishment as if I did it myself. Thanks for sharing your work Man. You're an incredible artist. I hope I get at least near your level sometime.

well said bro

Nice build. I agree that the KA-52 is a great looking helicopter.

Most beautiful hellicopter!

Excellent work, David, as always. Your channel is one of my favourites. I have been building models for 45 years, but every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new!

сам в детстве этим занимался к сожалению сейчас нет времени остаётся смотреть твоё видео всё супер смотрю с наслаждением

nice build , I like the subtle camo colours . LOVE Kamov Helis . these 1:72 kits are so well detailed now . Wales UK

David, I always look forward to your builds. And as always, another great looking kit build. 👍

A tip I have is to paint hard to reach parts before assembling. Cockpit details, dials, gauges, seatbelts, etc. When you know you won't have room after it's assembled. Sometimes I'll paint it while still on the spru. Love this guy's work! GO PLASMO!!!

Always a treat to get a video in my feed from you. One of the few channels I watch from start to finish!

I enjoy watching your builds, and seeing the techniques you use. Excellent video! Regards, Solomon

Your skill is top notch. Beautiful bird.

Absolutely stunning work, you make every build look so easy, hats off to you! Keep up the good work! Thanks

Great work!!! We can see the passion on yout models. Waiting for the next one.

I do admire your work. Especially your very precise work with a paint brush!

Best cockpit I've ever seen. Great job!

I hope all the model, painting and accessories companies are paying you handsomely for doing this! You should be getting paid because what you're doing is real art!

The quality of your finished models is amazing, well done!

That was absolutely fantastic and what a brilliant result! You are a very skilled modeller and have a very steady hand with the painting and weathering, very well done indeed David, this is a model to be very proud of. Have fun with your next project, Joe

Nice one David. I have this kit in my stash (had it for years) and now I'm tempted to give it a whirl.😉👍🏻

Thank you for all these great videos, you have really inspired me to start modelling and am working towards building a Westland Lynx model. Thanks and keep going!

David, thanks for the quality.

you are an artist! Congratulations for your gift!...

As always, just a real pleasure to watch and learn.

STUNNING, and As always you make it look so easy!!

Nádherná práce,to je síla.Díky Davide

Ein wahrer Meister des Modellbaus! Kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass es noch besser geht.

Raised rivets? What a hero you are! Congrats for this building. I'd like to suggest you to build the Zvezda Mi-35 1/72. Despite being a tougher bulding, it would be nice see both choppers side by side.

Ми-35 не особо интересен, Лучше Ми-24, он интереснее и сложнее в сборке)

nice work for such a small scale , nice details

Another superb build and quality video

Hello wonderfull work. Thank you for teaching us. Greetings.

Excellent helicopter model. The looks are just insane and you did an amazing job with the model and the video both. Loved watching the video too. Cheers

Another excellent model. Great job, David. Keep it up with the videos!

I just bought this kit at a show 3 days before watching this video! Nice...can't wait to build it.

Another quality build, thanks again.

Also built this kit and the one of the smaller single-seated Ka-50. Even managed to split the rotors on the Ka-50 and got them to move independently from each other. My paintwork wasn't as elaborate, though.

Yesterday I've found your channel and watched some of your vids. Man, your models are breathtaking. Every single one is a masterpiece and your attention to detail is just crazy! Keep it up! You're awesome!

Thanks, I appreciate your kind words.So, hooray to the next model.

I've been following you for about 9 months now, and you've reignited my interest and passion for doing this. One of my first kits way back in the day was the 1/48 Monogram Mi-24D Hind gunship, and I'd love to see what you'd do with it! Thank you sir, much respect!

Your amazing at this work, I watched all your videos, your attention to detail is fantastic, these are museum class models

you always make it look so easy another great build

fantastic looking attack helicopter , the alligator. great model david, well done 👍

Great models and fabulous skill

Great job! Thanks for sharing your videos:

David Damek who am I to criticize your model building skills......You do excellent work!

Cool, I'm building this exact same model now. I chose the black color as suggested for this model. Note that when helicopters are static, their blades tends to bend, so I bended the blades a little so that it looks more real. I used a hair dryer

Wow, I just thinking about building this same kit and today, you upload a video of it. Thanks for that! I'm glad I subscribe to your channel.

Very good kit, well done!

You are a true artist and i learn so much from you Thankyou greeting from Hong Kong

very nice job as usual. always a pleasure to watch your video.

Fantastic build

I’ve never seen that kind of helicopter before..I had to go find it. Pretty intriguing!

What a great job!

great standard of work as usual 👍

David Damek as usual excellent build!

Nice build, cheers from Portugal ;)

NIce one! And toe option to vote for the next model is a great idea!

I love your work...

it is nice to see somethink kind of new but weel done by you !

I've always favoured the Ka-50. The Ka-50/52 is an incredibly innovative helicopter with a huge number of improvements to the traditional attack helicopter design. The key differences between the Ka-50 and 52 mostly rest on the Ka-50's innovation being rolled back to allow for export to users who aren't fond of some of the new ideas. Granted the changes probably are for the better in a lot of cases, but as long as I'm not flying it I don't have to care for practical realities.

I think the dual cockpit is much better. Allows the pilot to concentrate on not flying into the ground, and the gunner to chase targets. The US is still expecting two crew in their replacement helicopter program, FVL, and I am willing to bet that the US has better flight automation than the Russians.

@@ScottKenny1978 There are some arguments between it and the answer is it really depends on the mission. As designed the KA-50 was looking primarily to pick off tanks with long range missile shots and secondarily to take hit and runs on infantry targets with mainly rockets and a little bit of guns. Frankly with the extra space and weight (cockpit, armour, infrastructure for gunner) I'd rather be in a 1 man helicopter considering the amount the KA-50 avionics help. In the long range anti-tank role the pilot rarely has to fly the helicopter and can mainly focus on the gunner role spotting targets as the flight systems are so effective. Its incredibly easy to hover, but similarly easy to keep to the doctrine of flying at 100-150km/h in a straight and level flight path as the avionics are mainly designed to assist with. Indeed the pilot can fly reasonably low with the avionics keeping altitude automatically, though that would be mostly for navigation. Against infantry the helicopter was intended for hit and run CAS strikes as the cold war didn't allow helicopters to sit on station due to MANPADS. Using rockets as designed, and as the Russians absolutely love using, the gunner is fairly useless anyway. With the gun the pilot can use HMS to point and shoot as required, and the mounting requires the pilot be involved in rotating the helicopter rather than a rotating mount as it provides a far more stable and accurate firing platform allowing the cannon to more effectively take out APCs and trucks from outside return fire range. A gunner would only be used for spotting targets, and that was intended to be done at long range where straight and level flying (great for autopilot) is the doctrine anyway. Of course the world shifted dramatically a decade after the helicopter was designed, longer for the Russian. Now the mission is primarily flying circles as top cover around a convoy, infantry, or important area whilst spotting and gunning threats, along with a very dynamic line of battle and far less tolerance for collateral damage. For this a gunner is absolutely needed just for tracking fast moving friendly soldiers alone, and a gunner is almost demanded for the close range, high angle off, accurate shots the modern battlespace needs. This means the KA-50 gun had to be changed to a more conventional style, the camera needed the ability to look at a miles larger angle, and suddenly instant pilot controls aren't absolutely required for every weapon system the aircraft uses unlike before. Basically the world is a different place. At the time and with the doctrine used both by American and Russian pilots the single pilot design was absolutely a big step in the right direction. As we can see with fixed wing aircraft America are slow to drop the unnecessary crew (eg. F-18) but I believe they absolutely would have had the mission stayed the same. The single pilot design was incredibly innovative and Russia made a major step forwards with it. As for flight control computers, you add what is required for the mission. With two crew a highly automated flight control system isn't required and so you'd very much expect a single pilot helicopter to have a significantly better system. As the mission changed everyone put more emphasis on the cannon and sensors with Russia making huge modifications towards both systems and America using extra ammo boxes strapped to the side as routine equipment. Its important not to miss all the historical context which made the single seat attack helicopter such a great idea.

@@olivialambert4124 my favorite snicker about the FVL program is that one design is the kamov coaxial rotor set, along with a pusher prop. Coaxial rotors allows greater lift, and higher speed because you don't lose all the lift on one side of the helo when airspeed approaches rotor tip speed.

Awesome work so great

Amazing job my friend...

Amazing job, as usual! Kudos!

Superb -as always 👍👍

Excellent. I'm starting in the hobby, I hope to reach that level

Great work David!
