I have been asked if I could find the kashtan build on the board . Well here it is , especially for those building either the Stereguchchiy , Kirov or Kuznetzov at 1:72nd . Hope this helps .

Hi Dave,

As ever, that looks superb.

Looking forward to your build articles in the magazine.

All the best
Sandy

P.S. Thanks for the great article about the Warship Weekend and the mention of the Guepratte, with photos.

Hi Robert although the two gun mountings can move up and down and the gun will rotate, there is no mechanism to do this as a working feature, but it would be interesting especially on the Kirov.

Hi Dave,

As is always the case, an absolutely superb class in modelling techniques and process. Thank you so much for sharing. :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: I am not as sure about your challenges though - see quote :whistle: Seems I will have to make my Kashtans at least rotate on the Edwin........

Thanks again, this will be an enormous help to me, just like the CIWS and directors on Varyag.

Andrew

Russ really good to hear you . No the Daring is almost completed just sorting out the last few parts , like building the Merlin 101 helicopter , deck lining and some painting .Thankfully the Daring build has been good training for this new project which has plenty of stealth features ,although the kashtan is not one of them but this 100mm housing is ! :cool_1:
Looking forward to this one :heh:

Thank you very much for sharing - even more for doing so in your very instructive step-by-step-manner!

Hi Joachim you are very welcome and good to hear from you . I missed meeting up with you at the Intermodelbau back in April . I've been taking a close look at the drawings of the forward 100mm gun turret which is slightly different but like the Kashtan would be interesting to model :heh: :wave_1:

Bill it�s really good to hear from you my friend. Thanks for your comments they are indeed appreciated. I must admit building the Kashtan was a bit like putting the cart before the horse but I have enjoyed the build even though it was rather brief. I have to have the Daring project completed and ready to be handed over by February, and then I can give all of my concentration over to this new project. . By the way how is your own build program working out? I have to confess I would love to have a crack at another carrier or LPH as a future build .I have been doing some spade work along that path as I find it takes as long to assemble all the necessary pieces of information as it does to actually build the model. All the very best to you Bill :thumbs_up_1: :wave_1:
