Hello all, so as to keep a close eye on my behaviour Mark has asked me to start this thread.
As some of you may know I am also scratchbuilding a 1:144 HMS Vengeance at the moment, in fact I hadn't any plans (or money) to buy the Scaleships Akula until my Grandmother sadly died in September last year and left me a little money. My wife at the time said was there anything special I wanted to get and hey presto, Russian sub. So the Vengeance is on hold for a little while.
Most of you are probably familiar with the kit but for those of you who are not, some info;
Scale is 1/96 the model measures 45.8" (1163mm) long and 5.5" (141mm) beam
you get a 7 blade prop and propshaft all the planes and rudders SOKS sensor parts, scopes/masts etc a full brass etched fret, plans, decals/transfers and 2 brass nameplates.
I am not the fastest builder in the world as I have 3 young children but as and when I get stuff done I will post it.
The hull
The planes and rudders
The beautiful prop
The etched fret
The biggest and in my opinion the best of the masts. ( the detail on this thing is stunning compared to its size)
More to come,
Peter
