Flankerman Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Whilst waiting for the Mikro-Mir K-Class subs to arrive at Hannants, I dug out 3 Chinese PLAN subs from my stash and built them, They are all by Hobby Boss and all 1/350 scale - painted using Halfords car sprays..... First up, the Type 033G 'Wuhan' class SSG .......... Next the Type 039G 'Song' Class SSK...... Finally, the Type 091 'Han' Class SSN.... More images ....... Wuhan........ Song ....... Han I'm off to submerge myself in looking at photos of HMS X.1....... Ken 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowler0000 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Great stuff as usual, Ken. Is the Wuhan just weathered primer grey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelter Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 very nice trio there Ken - those display bases make such a difference to the norm for maritime displays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Great stuff as usual, Ken. Is the Wuhan just weathered primer grey? Thanks - and yes - Halfords Grey Plastic Primer - with pastels for the weathering - probably a bit overdone. It makes an interesting companion to the Russian Juliett Class......

sub-builder Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Nice models, that Juliet is pretty cool, might try building one in 1/700 scale if I can find some decent reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a 'preserved' one at Peenemunde - marked up as U-Boat U-461. Google 'Juliett U-461' for loads of walkround photos. This site has some good refs - but you need to know a bit of Russian.
