A-Model 07274 Kamov Ka-226 Russian Emergency Situations Ministry (MChS) helicopter 1/72

The A-Model 07274 plastic model kit represents the modern Russian light multipurpose helicopter Kamov Ka-226 in the version used by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations (MChS). The model is made in the popular 1/72 scale, allowing for the reproduction of many characteristic details of this unique helicopter design, which has become a symbol of contemporary Russian rescue services.

The Kamov Ka-226 is a versatile light helicopter that first took to the skies in the early 1990s. Its main design feature is its coaxial rotors—typical of the Kamov Design Bureau—which eliminate the need for a tail rotor. This machine was designed as a modular platform, allowing the quick exchange of the cabin depending on the mission. The model’s version in MChS Russia colors has proven especially useful in rescue, transport, and firefighting operations, both in urban environments and in mountainous or hard-to-reach areas.

The Kamov Ka-226 helicopter has been in service in modern times—intensively used from the 1990s until today. The MChS has deployed this machine in numerous humanitarian missions, natural disaster relief efforts, medical evacuations, and firefighting actions both within the Russian Federation and abroad.

The A-Model 07274 kit is made from high-quality plastic, allowing precise reproduction of the helicopter's silhouette as well as cockpit and external equipment details, such as the characteristic front glazing or rotor blade covers. The set includes decals for the Ministry of Emergency Situations’ markings and all parts necessary to complete the model, except for glue and paint, which must be purchased separately.
