    K-3 Leninski Komsomol (display mdel)

    Little project that got just finished (took a break from my Molch project) It‘s the K-3 „Leninski Komsomol“, Russia‘s first nuclear submarine. Model is in 1/350 scale and based on a Russian kit originally released by Flagman and then repackaged and modified by Zvezda. Bought it before the Russian invasion of the Ukraine and had it in the backlog for a few years. Kit is like the original boat…a bit shabby, but with patience and putty one can build a decent display of an historic boat with very unique outlines …

    Excellent job on that kit. And the weathering is near perfect. Less is more!

        The Russian mind-set -- throw bodies at the problem till the problem goes away. Savage pragmatism at work over there. Tough, crazy, SOB's!

          K-3 was designed by Vladimir Peregoudoy.

          He lived to be 91, I doubt the crew that manned that sewer pipe he designed lived as long..
