Calling all Russian Boris Chilikin-class (AOR) replenishment oiler fans

Post by Haijun watcher »

Thanks to the wonders of 3D-printing, we now have the Russian/Soviet Boris Chilikin replenishment oiler available from the Shapeways vendor "Amateur Wargame Figures".

It is available in 1/700, not to mention the wargaming scale of 1/2400. (embedded Shapeways links in highlighted text)

As of this posting, at least 3 of this class of 6 are still in service, and would be a wonderful addition to a Soviet-era fleet, especially if one wants to make a RAS/UNREP scene where an AOR is refuelling capital ships like the Kirov class battlecruisers.
"Haijun" means "navy" in Mandarin Chinese.
