The Ship Model Forum

This build was a very interesting one and an unkonown subject. Great work...

Hi
I am doing research on the Russian Armoured Motorboat 1124 and just came accross your build which will help me alot . I received plans from Russia on the 1124's which had different hulls and carried two turretts .The plans show four different turretts that were used on these boats .They are T-35A,T-28,6T7A and T-34 .I will be doing a static model in 1/35 scale so I can use the T-28 turretts from the AER-015 T-28 kit .
My proublem is I can not find any photo's of the 1124.Did you find any books on the 1124 and 1125 ? If so could you recommend were I can purchase it ?
Vert nice job on the 1125 .

Richard I have a bunch of pictures of the boats one set very extensive on two museum boats. I could send you a zip package if that would help.

To see more about this boat and how it turn out go to my website: wwwsneillfx.com

Hi Steve
Thank you for your help,I will need it .Being a old man { 63 but don't tell anybody } I don't know what a zip package is .
Richard

Thank you Steve for the zip file .It and this build will help me alot .I realy like your hull plating .I have started the 1124 hull and will start a post when I get the hull done .The 1124 as you know were different in that they had two props and two tank turrets .

Back in around '90 I built a 1/35th BK1125 from a 2 way drawing, I had to guess the dimensions etc from photos in a Soviet Navy book published (I think) by arms & armour press. The same book yeilded a G5 and BK1124 ( see pic )

As you can see the accuracy was very poor but we were pre-internet!

Maybe I'll have another go now that I can get some real data and images that are more than blurs!

There are plans available from Russia in 1/35 for the 1124's.Your 1125 looks great .

I'll get those plans
Actually, when I think about it, the twin T-28 turret version in the pic is supposed to be the BK1124, but she's too big. The turrets were bought (along with the rest of the tanks ) in St Petersburg in '94, so I guess she's nearly 15 years old, she still gets an outing on occasion.

This pic is the only one of both BKs I can find on this computer.

Wow,fifteen years ago .I thought I was doing something new ! The 1124's had two props and two rudders.I can't see in the photo what she is but they both look great .The 1124is 27 inches in 1/35

Yeah, I only discovered the drawing I had was wrong about the screws when a friend gave me a link to set of images of a museum boat about 2 weeks ago!

What is the link ? I would like to see it .
