"Gentlemen, I present to you the Soviet submarine Project 629..... 1 ping only Vasilly" This is the solid resin model from Polar Bear Models - who sell ready-made and painted submarine display models in 1/350 scale. As a sideline, they also sell the subs as 'kits' - consisting of a rock-like, chocolate coloured resin one-piece hull with separate propellers, masts and dive planes plus a decal sheet. I had to fill the display base mounting holes and sand down some bulges from its display origins - as well as the seam line down the middle - and wore out a few sanders and drill bits doing so - the resin is REALLY hard! Anyway - It's finished........ It was hard work - but it adds another Soviet type to my collection of 1/350 scale subs. More photos of the build here. The Polar Bear kits are quite expensive - but I might be be tempted to get a few more - especially the more unusual types. Ken

Look what's just 'surfaced' in my mail..... It is a solid resin model of a Soviet Golf-I class submarine. Made by Polar Bear models of Severodvinsk - they are sold as ready-made models - but they also sell the parts as 'kits' - minus instructions or painting details. This is not a problem as there isn't much to construct, the parts are self-evident and a view of the ready-made model shows the colours :- http://www.subs-n-ships.com/pics/subs/ussr/golf/400_golf.jpg The hull is a one-piece solid chocolate-coloured resin casting with a joint seam along the centreline, but is superbly moulded with no flaws or air bubbles... There are large holes in the keel to take the brass stands of the ready-made model - so they will need to be filled.. Once cleaned up it should prove simple to build.... A decal sheet, rear deck dome, forward dive planes, shnorkel, masts and propellers are included. I ordered the kit on-line and payed via PayPal - delivery took a while - but not a problem. I shall certainly be purchasing more of these kits from Polar Bear Ken
