BKA-1124, Russian WWII River Monitor

[Clashster]

For some reason, I always love seeing the internal formers pictures. Very cool!

Knife - That boat is the very expensive MIG plastic model of the BK-1125. They have two, one wrecked and one normal. The Russians often scuttled these boats if they were unable to withdraw. This prevented them falling into German hands. The 1125 is a shorter version of the 1124, I believe they were shortened to make them easier to transport by rail.

Clashter - I agree, the internal structure of these models is often as fascinating as the exterior.

Work progress on the main turrets . . .
