OH so you are just posting them all at once just to make us believe you make this speed I wonder where Pieter van Buren is lately, he normally builds them as fast as we can look at them, but now it's been a while since I saw something from him.
Here's something "new", it's the Palash gun, finally being tested, a logical advance as they want to put two of these systems on their new 8,000t frigate! Fitted on a Tarantul, same as they did with Kashtan in the past.
Since we're on the topic of Tarantuls, just wanted to share a little research. Here are some structural mods I plan on making to the Innex kit (1/400). I realize the plans say 1241.1 (T-II, IIRC), but compared to pics of the real thing (courtesy of Neptune) I don't see any real structural differences. BTW, deletions are in yellow, additions are in red. Pls ignore the thin red lines across the deck - reference lines that shifted when I started pushing pixels.
No haven't found ANYTHING on Chilikin yet... I do have my own plans partially finished by now, but they are not really good I think. I'll keep looking though, maybe even ask Arnold if he has this type of drawings of Chilikin too (now that I come to think about that).
Some know a few words of English, but most of them don't. I generally try to either translate myself or just ask some Russian friends of mine to translate it (although "Torpedo hatch" doesn't seem to be a commonly known word in Russian )
You've been silent Andrey, spending more time on building? Or strengthening the house for typhoon season?

I enjoy time with my family!
I haven't build any ship for 3 month since Drozd. Makarov stays 50% done. I'm not in a mood of model building at this moment. And yes I was doing a lot of work on my house. I finally replaced trim on my chimney ( 2 story house . ) and now it is a painting time
With the exception of the Kresta II all the other ships are in boxes waiting for the right moment to "attack" them - in a very near future.
If anyone needs these images in higher resolution, please ask.
Hi,
I am looking for photos showing the underside of Tarantul I for my INS Veer build. If anyone has any photos or drawings that they would like to share, it will be very helpful.
I thought I had already sent you that. Anyway, I remember I have more pics, but probably on my other computer. These are resized also, I'll send you the originals if I dig up the others too.
This is a Tarantul III, although I don't think they actually changed anything on the hull of the different sub classes. The other pictures I have are from a Tarantul I, with a front view too if I remember correctly. I also have plans of the Tarantul hull, although it's a bit late for that I guess
Here a few photos from the Museumship "Tarantul" ( ex Hans Beimler a Tarantul-I from the former GDR Navy "Volksmarine" ).
You can visit it at the historic technical information center Peenem�nde (HTI Peenem�nde) all over the year.
Here a few detail photos.
And here you can see the ammunition feed for the AK630 and the motors for movement.
If you want more photos (159 in a resolution of 3888x2592 pixel) just write me a PM and i load it to rapidshare.
