STEREGUSHCHIY Project 20380 at 1:72 scale

[Dave Wooley]

Hello Dave,

Not sure which parts you "can't quite evaluate", but perhaps following link can help you:

http://forums.airbase.ru/2012/10/t57614 ... .8329.html

It's from airbase, but it's not from the normal navy board, it's from the modelbuilding part on Stereguchiy. I've noticed this topic has more detailed shots, including those parts next to the hangar, but whithout the boats in place. So a better view of what's around those boats is seen here. Hope it can help you. Let me know which other parts you don't have a good reference on, I'll see if I can find something.



btw, saw your article on Daring's Zodiac and the installations behind it inside that "hangar" space. Really great reading!

Hi Roel thanks for the offer always appreciated. I shall be getting the drawings of Soobraziltelnyy in a few days time so I'll have to make my mine up quite soon as to which one I going to build. Hope to get some real progress underway within the week , watch this space Also I'm really pleased that you have found the article on the building of the RIB and hanger space interesting . It surprised me when I realise that I have been running that series of build articles for nearly 2 years.
Cheers
Dave

Christmas comes early for Dave but has yet to think of a way of getting it past Mrs Wooley and into the shed; until then it resides in my front room.

What can I say, caught in the act so to speak Even Richard Motyaka builder of the two magnificent 1;72nd Russian warships was more than tempted. This is a superb hull , a project I have worked on for such a long time is one step further along .

Must thank scousegit for very kindly transporting the hull for me , my vehicle is not exactly overflowing in spare space!!!

Boys and their toys
Was trying to get up to Blackpool, but alas failed.

Looking forward to seeing you at Telford, i see that the boat show is also on Friday this year, i take it that you'll be doing both.
Question, how do you get let off the leash so easily, tips please

Hi Dave nice hull you showing us
i like the care with this superp piece

Thought you might like to see the Steregushchiy hull before work gets underway

Very nice looking hull DW what are the dimensions of her ??

Cheers Bruce

[Dave Wooley]

Hi Bruce the hull measures 1450mm x 205mm , not to big to work with ,I can even turn the hull in my tiny workshop , couldn't do that with the Kiev or Daring but 72 is a great scale to work with .

Looks like a very sharp hull! Love those molded-in shaft slots. You still have some work to do though
Almost time to get started?

Dave Wooley

Nice !! That would make her about 100mm (approx.) shorter than an ANZAC class FFH with similar beam. Can you do a pic with her alongside the Type 45??

Cheers Bruce

Hi Roel Yes you are right . Shafts and power train to go in first . Then electronics and out for ballast trials , then the real work begins. I am itching at the bit

Hi Bruce sure i'll get a picture of both together , on the bench. Some of the naval pundits have mentioned that the Steregushchiy is a reworked Krivak 3 design yet remains a corvette ?
Dave Wooley

[roy allen]

exellent news,just one request Dave can you run through the power train and electronics part as it is the bit that i know nothing about.

Cheers ROY

These two ships are not related at all. Completely new hull. Like this you could say that the it's derived from a Slava as well... They hardly have anything in common. If you look at the Krivak hull shape, with the knuckle and aft part, without helicopter or hangar, you see this hull is completely different from Stereguchiy.

Hi Roy no problem I will be dealing with the internal bits first.

I agree and that's the way it looks to me but the Talwar which is derived from a krivak3 does have a hanger and has some of the features of project 20380 so there must be a design cross over somewhere .

Hi Dave,

Best of fortune with the build - glad to see you have come over to the dark side...... (TF 72 )

Hi Dave,

kicking it back up to the top.
Here is a picture of the Stoiky under construction.


Note the missing bow sonar and the apparently seperately added dipping sonar housing. She also will have the Klub VLS forward rather than Kashtan. Not sure if they will keep this as a standard of if they will use the Kashtan on some units depending on fleet. (operational need in different fleets is very different, I can imagine that in Black Sea you have more need for additional air defense rather than additional long-range anti-ship or anti-sub weapons)

On Krivak III, all Russian ships have a similar hangar, including Krivak III as well as Neustrashimiy, that doesn't mean that Talwar is derived from Neustrashimiy does it? Definately not, although both ships do have a similar hangar and Kashtan/CIWS lay-out. There may be a cross over in the design, but it's rather dictated by the very high and big Helix helicopter and similar thinking rather than copying/deriving from a single design.
Hope to see some updates soon.
As for the future, why don't you first finish that !!!excellent!!! Rurik hull that you have laying around there???

[Dave Wooley]

Hi Roel Yep I can't disagree with your logic re-Krivak 111 . Great shot of the Storiky as for the bow sonar apparently the bulb is fitted separately, it�s a structural thing. Also the kashtan on Steregushchiy has no below deck magazine, a standard feature which implies that the Kashtan fitted to the Steregushchiy was a temporary "bolt on� fit. There seems to be some consensus that this was a one off and the remainder of the class are VLS. Yet as we know these assumptions can change, so we wait and see what happens. Personally I like the Kashtan as a feature so I�m sort of half convincing myself to go with the Steregushchiy rather than any others in the class ? . Whilst at Telford I was drooling over Jims 1:700 Rurik and I mentioned to Jim that one day , yes one day I will have to dig the old 1:96 Rurik out and finish the project

and say you i start the buildings of my workshop finally
i purchase a new camera too.
well now i can start after some things my hull
all the best
