Another one just finished - Project 1710 'Mackrel' (Beluga Class) from Mikro-Mir..... This boat was a one-off design to test hydrodynamics, propulsors and boundary layer control techniques. Note the extreme streamlining and numerous sensors mounted on the hull... More photos of the kit here Ken

Another new release from Mikro-Mir, the Pr. 1710 'Mackrel' was named 'Beluga' by NATO. It was a diesel-electric experimental vessel used for testing propulsion systems, hull forms, and boundary-layer control techniques. Only one was built - but many of the features it tested were used in later designs such as the Lira and Alfa subs. Mikro-Mir's box art..... Injection-moulded parts...... Instruction sheet and colour scheme.... Assembly diagram....... Decal sheet and etched fret...... This is another one that I will be building soon - to add to my growing collection. Ken
