DELTA IV Russian submarine 1/96

That looks like a Polar Bear Production drawing - don't ask me about those. Cost me a lot of time when I built my OSCAR II master.

Do you have the high-rez version, or just the above?

No, I only have just the above

Uh-oh! I hope I won't get flamed for being a rivet-counter, but it looks like you've been following Delta III photos for your safety track placement over the missile deck. Delta III's have dual raised safety tracks that run clean across each of the missile hatches as you've done, but Delta IV's have a single flush central track that runs between the hatches across the top of the missile deck. See below:

And here again:


This is a great build BTW - I've been threatening to scratch one of these for myself for a long time, so I too have a good bit of material built up and have developed a good eye for the Delta IV.

Yes, you are right, just got carried away by the plan below! Can be easily fixed though, no problem!

Sorry, brain RAM failure.....the pic of the anchor on the Delta IV (pocket, chain and anchor).

Grtz,

Thks Peter....I will post them again......8,9 and 10 I left out......as I went trough my whole library I noted the first picture of the anchor is a Delta III, the anchor of the delta IV is on the lower hull. Note the guy in the white bordered window in the last pic.
Grtz,

Bart,

Not so sure about pics 8,9 and 11 but the rest look like Delta IV.

Once you have uploaded the picture if you click on it then you should get an option to post it medium, large or fullsize. I tend to go for large.

All the best,

Peter

After the Akula the Delta IV is on top of my list for a next project, I'm looking fwd for your progress.

Meanwhile I have also harvested some pictures from the WWW. .......Thks Peter some of them are also new to me. Hope I can return the favor.

I'm a dumbass concerning these forums so I don't know if they will show as small or large pics......hope they are all IV's my Russian is getting rusty.

Grtz,
Bart
