Those prices are a bit rich for my blood.

Thanks!

Do you know if those plans come with hull sections?

The site does not describe what you get other than sheets and booklet.

[ozpirate]

You get in the package one large sheet showing profile and top view at 1/100.
This sheet contains numbers which correspond to an item in the book where you get multiple views for better quality.
Also in the book you get multiple line drawings for your choice of scale. 1/200 1/150 1/100 1/75 1/50
There is over 55 pages in the book including a page dedicated to the colours used on the ship.
You may say pricy, yes I agree but you also get a disk of images of Russian ships dedicated to the ship your planning to build.
If I buy a plan from the UK or US all I get is 2-4 pages usually and pay similar prices and is no where as good as these plans.
Hope this helps you.

Searching for name/info for this vessel- photo taken in Mediterranean 1989. Burevestnik class?

According to this, Razitelnyy received the 807 hull number in 1989. Judging by the turrets, she's a Krivak I/Project 1135, which corresponds with Razitelnyy as well.

Found she was transferred to the Ukrainian navy as the Sevastapol' U132 and scrapped later on. Thanks!

My model of Storozhevoy build using the Skywave 1/700 kit. She is depicted as in 1975, when her crew mutinied.









I was surprised how many parts I had to modify. Especially the superstructure between the bridge and the funnel is wrong and difficult to correct. I used GMM PE parts for the masts and radars, barrels for Italian 9 cm guns for the 7.62 cm turrets and lifebuoys and decals by NNT.

Any one interested in purchasing close up / onboard pictures of the Ludny 801 all areas covered and both starboard and port sides. If of interest please send message to parismn@go.com.mt

Kind regards

Shame there is no plastic 1/350 kit of these ships. They were once the workhorses of Soviet surface ASW units.

Gentleman, would any of you be interested in building a 1/96th scale Krivak (I or II)?
I recently came across a one man operation by the name of MTB hulls (http://www.mtbhulls.co.uk/). Christian, the owner sells a wide rande of fiberglass hulls for RC and static models and will add anything to the current line by request with the condition that you order at least three of the same hull. No extra tooling cost should be payed. He said building a Krivak hull would not be a problem, so I'm looking for other volunteers who'd like to have one.
Check out his photos to get an idea of the quality of his work. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mtbhulls/page1
His hulls are priced by hull length, so going by his pricelist a Krivak in 96th would cost around �90.

If you'd be interested in ordering one please post a reply or drop me a line.
Thank you for your attention.

Decided to put this here, to satisfy Chuck's recent curiousness into Soviet VDS's.

Here is the Krivak VDS:

[chuck]

Interesting, thank you. This VDS looks very much like the unit displayed on the rear starboard of the Minsk, which is currently rotting away as a largely derelict hulk marooned in a land locked lake after failing to support herself as a tourist trap in China. Except on the ship it is upside down.

I am guessing that was the original VDS fitted to the Minsk. But if that is the case, then the VDS should deploy out of a location near where the gang plank is currently attached on the stern. But the compartment the gang plank is attached to seem cavernous and far larger than needed to hold that VDS And it�s deployment system.

[chuck]

It seems to be verified this is also the original VDS fitted to the Kiev class. This is the inside of the VDS compartment in the Kiev, also a museum in China and apparently much better maintained. The tail of the identical towed body is visible.

Not sure if you ever saw this site:
https://cmano-db.com/search.php
It contains a lot of info on Soviet sonars. I found the MG3225 Vega, VDS of Krivak etc. with NATO designation Mare Tail. This is the one you seem to be looking for.
