"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.
