The Ship Model Forum

So after several years of going back and forth wether I should scratch build this ship or not and also waiting to see if any one came out with a large 1/350 scale version I got tired of waiting.

I’d did what research I could and reviewed some of the forums here on the matter and finally I’ve started.

I do have to admit I’m a little nervous as this is my first scratch build hull.

Nice start on a very interesting project!

Interesting, not the most beautiful ship, but an interesting one

Project 1123 is very interesting and mine is finally beginning to take shape.

Wow....
My hat's off ,a super interesting vessel , how much I wish this ship will be available in plastic in 1/350 , even in resin , one of my favorite ships .

You are doing a fantastic job,will keep this post very close ,congratulations and wish to see the final product

Awesome!

I am very proud of you for what it is worth for taking a crack at scratchbuilding.

I am very curious to see how yours turns out.

I have project of my own I am thinking about starting, so seeing this is very encouraging/inspiring.

always impressive to see a ship being built from nothing... nice work so far...

Very nice, will surely be following this one. pm me once you're in the radar (GROM) phase as they seem to ne familiar to me.

And we have the beginnings of the bridge!

This is getting so good , You are doing a fantastic job ,it is premature but want to ask ,which radars you will use?,hope You already have a Lion Roar 1/350 russian radar set ,sadly now is oop but has all the radars required for this lovely ship.

Was originally just going to scratch build all the radar too but I’ll guess I’ll take a look what’s out there.

Hey Mon$ter, I still have the documentation on these radars when I did my Kronstadt 15 years ago in '700 . The GROM (Head Lights) were actually started with a Kombrig Moskva in mind but that kit was problematic to say the least. Hence my switch to a smaller and more accurate kit. pm me an emailadress if you're interested in the documentation.

So the bulky superstructure parts are done, now for the detailing.
There are a few inacuaracies but at this point I’m just going to run with it and see how she comes out and maybe in the future I’ll build a better one.

Very nice work, and very brave!

A wonderfully weird ship design. I would guess a kit at this scale would do well?

Great project, I have the same documentation and was about to start, so I’ll follow closely.
