The attention to detail on the aerials just blows me away! Damn but those pesky Rooskies had some serious kit!

What are those two twin barrelled thingys on the bow with the ramps behind them in that last picture? They're too small to be gun turrets. I don't recall seeing them before.

Awesome build btw!

Hi Darren the twin barrelled "thingys" on the bow of Richards model are in fact "PK2s" or trainable 152mm active decoy launches . Apparently the chute to the side of the launcher has a duel purpose . First for disposing of dud rounds and secondly a simple convenient method for discharging IR decoys over the side .

Dave- is he working from plans, or just "eyeballing" it? I've already been contemplating a Udaloy II in 1/350... but now it would seem to be a letdown...

Hi Sean Richard Motyaka worked from modellers drawings and from pictures of the Chabanenko that were published in Model Boats magazine about 3 years ago . I haven't yet seen the 1:350 Udaloy 1 kits but I guess the Admiral Penteleyev should make a very imposing model and perhaps could lend itself to conversion to the Udaloy 2 ?. I'ts listed for release this year but when?

Conversion of an Udaloy I to an Udaloy II would be a nearly impossible job. It's possible, but it incorporates a LOT of changes. The hull stretches out further aft to accomodate the fixed torpedo tubes behind their hatches compared to the Udaloy I which has its TT's in the open. Additionally there are the Kashtan platforms which differ from the original AK guns and of course the main gun instead of the two AK-100's. Would mean a lot of scratchbuilding on that one and probably better to make an Udaloy II from scratch!
Too bad she's in 1/350!
