Yeah, I only discovered the drawing I had was wrong about the screws when a friend gave me a link to set of images of a museum boat about 2 weeks ago!

Wow,fifteen years ago .I thought I was doing something new ! The 1124's had two props and two rudders.I can't see in the photo what she is but they both look great .The 1124is 27 inches in 1/35

I'll get those plans
Actually, when I think about it, the twin T-28 turret version in the pic is supposed to be the BK1124, but she's too big. The turrets were bought (along with the rest of the tanks :) ) in St Petersburg in '94, so I guess she's nearly 15 years old, she still gets an outing on occasion.

This pic is the only one of both BKs I can find on this computer.

Back in around '90 I built a 1/35th BK1125 from a 2 way drawing, I had to guess the dimensions etc from photos in a Soviet Navy book published (I think) by arms & armour press. The same book yeilded a G5 and BK1124 ( see pic Image )

As you can see the accuracy was very poor but we were pre-internet!

Maybe I'll have another go now that I can get some real data and images that are more than blurs!

Hi
I am doing research on the Russian Armoured Motorboat 1124 and just came accross your build which will help me alot . I received plans from Russia on the 1124's which had different hulls and carried two turretts .The plans show four different turretts that were used on these boats .They are T-35A,T-28,6T7A and T-34 .I will be doing a static model in 1/35 scale so I can use the T-28 turretts from the AER-015 T-28 kit .
My proublem is I can not find any photo's of the 1124.Did you find any books on the 1124 and 1125 ? If so could you recommend were I can purchase it ?
Vert nice job on the 1125 .
Richard

Here's some pictures and a video.
