Assembling the Arkmodel 1/72 KILO kits ... that's right: kits!

[Peter W]

Mr. M did the kit come with plans? I do have a set of plans for an 877 if you need them, I also have some good drydock reference shots if required.

I must have mis-understood. I thought that these pictures of the pump jet(above attached)....(and pictured below) were part of the Kilo kit.

No. Sorry for the confusion, Mark. The model pictured with the many stator blades is the OTW 1/100 VANGUARD I assembled for a customer -- I manufactured a new sail, control surfaces and pump-jet. Those enhancements were reduced to tooling I sent to OTW to up-grade their kit. Pushy *******, ain't I?!

The pictures presented only to further demonstrate the use of metal straps to hold parts till they can be permanently bonded in place.

Nooooo, I will not convert to the ALROSA. You nut! I'm assembling these kits stock (other than making a proper propeller). No, Caswell, as far as I know is not marketing these kits. But, to be sure, check with Mike directly on that, Mark.

I have one of these kits available in Sydney if Mr C is out of stock. Purchased it two years ago and I don't look close to getting it done (wrong scale for me as well). At cost plus postage.

I so love it when the troops start throwing each other under the bus!

Nice pictures.

I already made a Project-636 propeller in 1/144 for the TRUMPTER kit. Now I gotta do it again for Feng's kit. Grrrrr!

Oh .... WOW! that stuff is GOLD! Great finds -- I'll be working up the 1/72 Project-636 propeller master soon and these shots will help a great deal as I refine blade shape. And those Zincs! Neat!

Thanks, pal. Good stuff.
