Hello Goergi,

You received my email?

[quote="Atma"]Georgi send me an e-mail today for my order. He is back :thumbs_up_1:[/quote]

Yes, I�m glad to be able to confirm that news from "Atma", i�m holding also a mail :wave_1: from Georgi.
Seems, that he will resume work the submarine line in near future.

God news so far :wave_1:

Georgi send me an e-mail today for my order. He is back :thumbs_up_1:

The waterline kits 700093-94 were released: I have both USS Seawolf SSN-575,WATERLINE, (2 per set) and Soviet submarine project 671 Yorzh (NATO name Victor I),WATERLINE, (2 per set) (do you meant 700092-94? I do not know what 700095 is, the EchoII?). I got them from Georgi - shortly before he stopped to release new submarine kits.

It would be really unfortunate if he stopped to produce submarine kits!

In the site's main page it was the last 1/700 subject OKB released(the Echo II submarine).[/quote]

That is correct, but it seems, that the last 3 sub kits (No 700092 "Salvatore Pelosi", No 700093-95 WL-sets and the No 700096 "Proj 675 Echo II") never were released to customers. That�s strange, because the Echo II can be seen as a resinmodel foto on Georgis website.

My last order was the Juliet class 651 at mid-january this year without any problem as all the other orders before.

And beside all other international dealers even the bulgarian "hobymodels" (http://www.hobymodels.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=27_62&sort=2a&filter_id=45)
does not hold OKB-updates beyond OKB No 700071, the TR1700 ARG, NNT doesn�t hold kits later than No 700057 (667 Delta I). A phonecall with NNT told me, that they didn�t receive something from Georgi since a while.

If anybody get further information what�s going on with Georgi and his sub-series it would be very nicy to read those news here. It would be very sad if OKB would have stopped production.

Best regards

I've just looked at OKB Grigorov's own list, and I don't see the Echo II on it.

I don't know much about Soviet subs, so it might be there as a project number without the NATO name in the list.

[size=150][b]Any online vendor has the Echo II in 1/700 from OKBGrigorov ?[/b]
[/size]
Thanks in advance

I was looking for the 1/700 Echo II unfortunately Freetime doesn't have it...
The problem with Freetime is that is not out of stock, [b]is not even listed there[/b].

Last June, Georgi wrote on his front page he was suspending direct sales of his 1:700 range "temporarily".
Two days later he told me about wasted time in P&P, acknowledged a last direct order from me and redirected me to NNT and Freetime.
Maybe he changed his mind since... so you should receive your order.

Note he hasn't issued any sub since, only AFV : that's why I'm worrying about.
Please let us know if you get your order.

The 1/700 page is still up:[url]http://www.okbgrigorov.com/NAVY_1_700.htm[/url]

He told me in June he doesn't accept any more direct order for his 1:700 sub range : too much work wasted in P&P.
You'll have to order from retailers (NNT, Freetime, etc...)

His site no more shows the 1:700 range page, only AFV, so I'm wondering... and worrying.

Anyone heard from OKB?
I made an order 2 days ago directly to Georgi e-mail and no news from him, is he still active ?
Thank in advance.

Thanks for the update. I hope Georgi makes a full and quick recovery!

Peter

AFAIK Georgi suffered injury to his hand and has been unable to use a computer since.
Just wait until he recovers... I'm waiting too.

Has anyone heard from Georgi lately? I've tried to place an order twice in the past week, using the email address on his website, but he hasn't replied. :scratch: I hope nothing is wrong!

I've just received my first three OKB subs, the [i]Triton[/i], [i]Skipjack [/i]and [i]Seawolf [/i](SSN 575), and they're excellent! :thumbs_up_1: I got them from Pacific Front / Free Time Hobbies. Unfortunately they're OOS of most of the others.

Hi Georgi... :wave_1:

...any plans for 1/700 Project 20120 "B-90 - SAROV" ??
At least there are some usuable photos in the web...

Hello Georgi,
Do you still plan a special bargain week next week, as you told us last December?
Can't wait :cool_2:

Keep up the good work. Looking foward to ordering th Echo II soon.

Any chance of a WW1 British E class Submarine, 1/700 or 1/350? 1/350 would be great but happy with 1/700 too!
