Satellite tracking ship "Kosmonavt Yuri Gagarin" - 1:200 - Oriel

[Marco]

I've started on the next big project - the former USSR satellite tracking ship "Kosmonavt Yuri Gagarin". Active in the Soviet space program in the 70's and 80's. A rather unusual-looking vessel.

It is a big full-hull model (139 cm!) with some very intricate detail. The dish antennas look pretty difficult, but I'm not there yet. Safe to say this will not be finished before Christmas. And I will be using the laser-cut framework, detail & railing sets.
