Beriev Be-10N Missile Mallow - 1/72 scale Amodel conversion


Recommended Posts

Finally finished - my conversion of the new injection-moulded Amodel Be-10 'Mallow' into the proposed missile-carrying Be-10N (it never actually flew)

 

The radar nose is from a 1/350 scale nuclear submarine - and the K-10BS anti-ship missiles are scratched from plastic knitting needles and plastic card.

Cant help wondering if salt water ingestion was a problem for the engines or not?

 

 

It was during early testing - they even fitted a testbed with extended intakes - but in the end a spray supression strake around the bows sorted most (but not all) the problems.

 

This view shows the extended intakes :-

Compare with this 'normal' length....
