First, my two FACs, a Taruntul 1 and a Nanchuka 3, they're not quite finished:

They look great ASFC! I especially like the colors on your Ukraynia. One question though, I'm guessing you used Trumpeter's kit? It comes without decals? I almost bought the kit the other day because I saw it on sale, still thinking about it for spare parts and such.

Yeah, those over-under 2x630 mounts are pretty interesting, though they're used by another fleet - not the Russians... I think it's the Bulgarians or somewhere, but it's not the Russians who use that layout.
ASFC - you sure? Come on, you know you want to... Nah, my British People's Republic concept starts with Edward VI not abdicating, and instead going rather Facist, disbanding Parliament and ruling from the throne and such. Well, the people don't like it and as the war progresses under the Heavy Crown rule, a Bolshevism uprising takes down the throne once and for all, in a rather Cromwellian manner. Long story short, the British pull back from the German support, turn the fight and hit the Germans to back up the Soviets.
Most of my BPN projects would center around a 70's era concept of the Soviets pushing the BPR into the principle navy role, taking advantage of shipyards like Vickers Armstrong and the like. First on that list is a Slava/Renown bashfest, partially inspired by the Zipang site that Nektarios posted in the Postwar Navy thread, which moves B turret aft, similar to the X turret on a Revenge, replaces the whole bridge and stack section with the long bridge, the missile tubes, and a chopped-down stack section from a Slava class, shuffles a few other things around, and pretty much from there, Bob's your uncle. Well, my progress takes a slightly different concept, using more British equipment - I'm going to look into the Trumpy Renown when she comes out, to study the kit's architecture and see how much I need to do for the construction project. End of the plan, I'd like to have a Renown bridge section built over the Slava bridge, and a little additional modification on the bridge area, have it with AK-630's, Sea Darts, Bazalt Missiles and the six 15" guns, perhaps extended to 45 calibers or something. It should be an Interesting concept once I get at it to say the least, so yes, to answer your question, it will be somewhat like Tirpitzski.
Anyways, that's enough out of me for now.
Talking of the Tirpitzski... Do keep us updated on that one

However if their anything like your Tirpitzski it will be something to watch.
