Postwar navy.

Thats a lot of work mate.i see you did lots of progress on your build.iwish i could build this fast.

Thank you Yianni. I m trying as hard as i can to make as many ships as possible but the last semester i m not able to build as much as i used to.

[yiannis]

i can see what you mean Nektarios. Work is always a factor slowing us down. Maybe if we win the lottery.....

[Nektarios]

Impossible since i do not gamble.

[yiannis]

Nektarios check your email i sent you something interesting.

[Nektarios]

Checking now.

[Nektarios]

Amazing pics are they from your personnal collection?

[yiannis]

Nope.They are from a Russian friend.i do not know the source of these photos.

[Nektarios]

Do you mind if i post them???

[yiannis]

no i do not

[Nektarios]

Here are some nice (and rare) photos of Russian subs thanks to my friend Yiannis.

The first two are Oscar class - the side-saddle missile tubes around the sail say that. Interesting place for the torpedo loading hatch though, obviously it has the benefit that you can load both torpedo rooms through one central location. The third sub, it doesn't really give away What the sub is by the view, at least to me.

EDIT - yes it does, same sub - look at the way the side bulges out a little and then runs Flat along the side.

The Kilaueas are looking good, Nektarios. Very nicely done for a certainty.

Nice progress on the Kilaueas, Nektarios! I know what you mean when you say you haven't been able to work much on the models. Despite being on sem break, I'm caught up in work and when I come home in the evening I don't have the concentration that a model the size of the Liverpool requires. I'm hoping to finish her this weekend though.

Very interesting pictures of the subs! Never quite seen pictures like that before. Yiannis, if your friend has more pictures, please do share

You 're absolutely right. All three are Oscars

Sure you haven t seen pics of Russian ships like the ones Yiannis has. He has one of the most amazing collections of photos i ve ever seen. He has something like 25.000-30.000 photos of Russian postwar ships.

Hi Mitch, I just took a look at that sub your friend is building. Holy cow! That looks HUGE! Zeer groot


As a contrast, I'd like to show you all my now finished HMS Liverpool. I wish I had counted the hours because it took me much longer than I had thought. Here are a couple of pics:













All comments are of course very welcome!
