Flankerman Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Finally finished - the MikroMir 1/350 scale kit of HMS K15 - which I have built as HMS K22 (ex-K13). I also converted another K15 kit as HMS K12 - with a raised fordeck in front of the bridge. The WIP is here - from months ago. They aren't the best models I have ever made - lost my modelling mojo halfway through - hence the long tome to complete. Anyway FWIW, here are the photos..... HMS K22 - straight from the box....

Flankerman Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 HMS K12 converted. Here's all the K-Class I've made so far...... .... and here's a composite showing the differences in this unusual class of steam-powered subs.... Ken 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurora-7 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'm in awe of your submarine collection, FM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgizlu Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Saw these in the flesh on Sunday Ken - Sorry that I didn't get a chance to speak to you. I really admire your work - lovely presentation and your paintwork is immaculate. I like the restrained weathering. They looked absolutely fab, as they do here.

Bandsaw Steve Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Nice collection. Great to see some more British WW1 submarines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamwalker Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 very nice, I do hope micro-mir uses the plans I sent them for more Brit subs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 I sent them scale drawings of the K-Class and HMS Resolution - and both are now kitted by MikroMir. They are very amenable to suggestions and help with drawings and data - but they need cross-sections for complete accuracy. British subs are woefully under kitted - probably due to lack of information. Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Surely they have to do an E-class - surely... such an awesome machine for its time and so significant in its historical impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't suppose you could have a word in MikroMir's ear! cheers, Pappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
