Hi,
Beside GMM – Ref. 700-31 PE set, what other PE Sets can be used on Kiev/Minsk Trumpeter models?
Thanks Regards, Ayala Botto

Calling all Kiev and Minsk fans |

Hi, Probably the best Kiev Soviet Aircraft Carrier model (Trumpeter 1/700) I have seen so far built by a Russian modeller. Plenty of photos here (eleven pages!): http://scalemodels.ru/modules/forum/vie ... art_0.htmlAlthough is in Cyrillic alphabet the step-by-step images of the building process speak for it self. I’m assuming at some point Photo Etch parts where used (probably from Gold Medal models – Ref. 700-31). Anyway, an awesome model! Thanks. Regards, Ayala Botto

Also does anyone have any spare Yak's or KA-25/27 or photo etch? I can get you a scan of the directions if you still need them. PM me your email address.

Skywave makes a Soviet/Russian weapons/equipment set that has some turrets, missile launchers, radars, boats, and various other ancillary equipment on it. Orange Hobby makes some replacement AK-630's. Flyhawk, Lion Roar, Gold Medal and a few others make some etch radar/equipments sets. Aoshima makes a Soviet/Russian naval aircraft set that comes with Yak-38's and Ka-25's. The Forger's aren't too bad, the Ka-25's leave a lot to be desired but are really the only game in town as Trumpeter has not done any Ka-25's in the aircraft sets only Ka-27/29/31's. Aoshima is really the only game in town for either of the aircraft for earlier Kiev class flight group. Even though Trumpeter includes markings for the first three Kiev's (which appear outwardly similar), if you want a Novorossiysk you will need to make some mods. The forward sponson in front of the angle flight deck with the pair of AK-630's is different. It is stepped in plan view in the first two of the class (Kiev and Minsk) but there is no step on the Novorossiysk. The flight deck had some minor differences as well. There were also a few differences in the radar/electronics fit. She never carried the Side Globe EW or the Pop Group antennae on her island. Pop Group was associated with the SA-N-4. She didn't have the SA-N-4 launcher in the deck aft of the island either. It was intended for the Novorossiysk to carry SA-N-9 but she was never fitted with them or the associated Cross Sword radars.

Since I've been currently working on the Kiev, i replaced them with more suitably sized versions from another 1/700 Soviet weapons sprue. I'm planning to use the 1/700 Helix set from Trumpeter as well since the ones with the kit don't look too great in my eyes. Overall it is a decent kit, a definite improvement over Aoshima's, but it could have been better than it was. If I'm feeling confident enough in my skills I'll try my hand at building an Admiral Gorshkov/Baku since it doesen't seem like Trumpeter won't put out one anytime soon.

Re: Calling all Kiev and Minsk fans |

Hi guys,
In a couple weeks Im going to build the Aoshima 1/700 Minsk (should have gone with the Trumpeter in retrospect). Im collecting my paint ahead of time. Ive read through three pages of posts and I cannot find an accurate answer to a basic question I have.... What color modelmasters or tamiya paints would I need for the deck? I know everyone has their say on the specific colors but what colors would look good for the deck at the 1/700 scale.
Appreciate the help guys!!!

My Kiev kit has now aged five years since coming into my possession. I bought it at a IPMS show in Huntsville, Alabama. I suppose it is about time to commence the build, especially since I am in a "Russian construction" mode, finishing up my Varyag.

Many thanks Steve you have made my day . Experience has taught me never to permanently fit anything until the very last part of the build. If it needs changing /amended then there is a fighting chance . Once it's fixed there's not much that can be done. Dave Wooley
