Let me introduce my new project and its build:
Russian SSK Kilo class - also known as diesel-electric submarine type 877 Warshawianka:
B-808 "City of Yaroslavl", scale 1:200.
B-808 bears the name of Yaroslavl: the city in western Rusia:
Yaroslavl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
pr.877 history by naval-technology:
SSK Kilo Class (Type 877EKM) Attack Submarine - Naval Technology
Although this model has relatively simple form, is designated for at least experienced modelers, due to complex hull construction. Paper Kilo class is not easy even for me, her designer:D
I divided build in three stages:
hull main block
hull bow section
diving planes, propulsion and the sail.
On this picture You can see the internal construction. It requires precision in cutting and building:
Hull plating is done with "sock method" - adjacent hull plates are glued together and after that- glued to the skeleton:
It is not easy to obtain smooth color edges:
Spherical bow, the easiest part of the build:
another pics in nearest future.
