Well, the shape is correct on the Alanger kit, the size possibly not. Anyway, I got the point, people are still interested in Russian subs, so I'll throw in some batches of pics for you guys.

Here you can again see the pod extracted on portside. I changed the gamma balance on this pic to make it better visible. I think I have a bigger version of this pic somewhere too. I'll try to find it.

Hi all, I asked this question on the main forum but got no joy. Does anybody know if Soviet subs carried the hi-vis marker bouys over their escape hatches during WWII?

New Russian SSBN Yuriy Dolgorukiy finally started it's sea trials on Friday.:

Laid down in 1996 but with virtually not money to build it until 2004, it has taken 13 years to complete. The other ships of this class seems to be progressing much faster (at least they did until the crisis, now who knows).

That Dolgoruky is not the thing that was initially planned. In 2000 the program was started all over again. The plans were built from the very beginning all over. They had to use the existing Akula hulls which were still in the yard. This Dolgoruky is in fact just an elongated Akula. The forward and aft part are mainly Akula parts, slightly changed for the new propulsion. The ballast hole configuration is the same as on the Akula as well as the forward diving planes, which, for the first time for an SSBN are located in the hull rather than on the conning tower (because it's an Akula hull they are exactly placed where they are on an Akula).

Thanks Vlad. I should have included the paintin instructions from the 1/400 D, L & S class sub kits: Baltic: Neutral Gray FS 36270 for the upper hull and deck. Dark Green or red brown for below the waterline. Black sea: Light Gray FS 36473 conning tower and hull & neutral gray for the deck. Dark green or red brown for below the waterline. Northern fleet: Black Green FS 34052 hull and conning tower with Black deck. Black green below the waterline. If I sometimes ask a dumb question its because there is a awful lot of wrong info out on paint schemes of ships, planes and vehicals and this is so I don't have to repaint them later on.

Hi to everyone,

As a matter of fact Yuri Dolgoruky's hull looks more like a mix of Delta, Akula and Kilo Classes than a new design concept which is rather obvious on the Yasen Class SSN (Severodvisk). The really new element on the sub it's the conning tower which was tested on the "Kazan" (Modified Yankee - Akson Class) with the difference that while on the Kazan the forward diving planes were placed on the conning tower on Yuri Dolgoruky they are placed on the forward part of the hull as Neptune correctly noted an arrangement that was also used on the Typhoon class SSBN.

Best Regards
Giannis

I didn't really mean the Typhoon. I meant the NATO designated Akula/Schuka-B. On Typhoon they are folding inside, on Schuka-B they are rectractable, which also seems the case on Dolgoruki. Furthermore on Typhoon they are mounted above the waterline while surfaced. On Schuka-B, of which they used the hull, the blades are mounted around the middle, same position as on Dolgoruky. So I'd say the design is really made around existing Schuka-B/Akula hulls rather than anything new or even the TYphoon.
Strangely though, there are 16 hatches, while Dolgorukiy was said to have only 12 and only the second and third of class would have 16....

Assembly and launch of the new Borie class SSBN. Note pumpjet and the decidely western design look:

And the famous and Massive Building 42 assembly shed area in Severodvinsk. Also some great shots of early (November SSN) and later boats under construction:

Nice to discover this website because am fan of Russian subs too!

I have photos of D-2 ( Dekabrist-2) used in WWII and staying in Museum in St Petersburg even as
Sub in Vladivostok. But how to join them at website? There are lot of books around Russin subs but only in Russian,pity.

Have Rusian subs ( Akula, Typhoon) a number painted on the sub? I could not find it?

Greetings

I am looking for links or good color photos of various Russian nuclear submarines so I don't have to guess each time. Anyone?

Do you mean individual subs or just the different classes?

Anything in color actually. Right now I'm building K-19 with K-3 next in line.
