ACE 72309 Kamov Ka-25Ts Hormone-B Cruise missile targeting platform 1/72 – detailed model of a Soviet helicopter

The ACE 72309 Kamov Ka-25Ts Hormone-B plastic model kit in 1/72 scale is an excellent choice for demanding modelers passionate about military aviation and the Soviet Navy during the Cold War period. The model represents the legendary Soviet multipurpose helicopter Kamov Ka-25Ts in the Hormone-B variant, specialized in detecting and guiding anti-ship missiles as well as supporting close-range maritime reconnaissance.

The Ka-25 was designed in the early 1960s by the N. I. Kamov design bureau specifically for the needs of the Soviet Navy and was primarily used on Soviet warships, especially destroyers and cruisers. The Ka-25Ts Hormone-B version was equipped with advanced radar systems and electronic apparatus for targeting Soviet P-35 cruise missiles and detecting surface targets. These helicopters were widely used from the 1960s until the late 1980s and took part in numerous Soviet fleet operations across the world’s oceans.

The 1:72 scale ACE model kit perfectly captures the characteristic dual-rotor silhouette of the Ka-25 with its coaxial rotor design. The set includes very precisely molded parts made from high-quality plastic, allowing for detailed reproduction of both the fuselage and the external equipment typical of the enhanced Hormone-B variant. The kit does not contain paints or glue, allowing users to freely select their preferred painting materials.
