Courageous Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Hi guys. Here I present my second sub of 2018, a 1/350 Resolution Class SSBN of the Royal Navy by MikroMir. Like most submarine kits in this scale; they have few parts, a few decals and if you're lucky some PE. A simple build that needed only a little filler. RN subs are rather bland... black, so here it is painted satin black overall with a matt black for 'non-slip' deck. I tend to think that the fin looks too cluttered if all the masts are fitted, so I fit what I consider the 'surfaced' arrangement of search periscope, radar and W/T mast. To add a bit of scale, a couple of Tamiya figures were added. Thanks for looking.

AndyPG Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Nicely done Stuart. 1/350 is deceptively tough. Every blemish or missed seam shows up so much more as the critical eye scales the model. Looks perfect. Andy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Thanks Andy. Fortunately with these sub kits, they have few seems to cause problems but then again... Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Cheers Guys. I'm quite impressed with the MikroMir kits so far. Airfix Trafalgar Class in progress at mo. Stuart Edited March 17, 2018 by Courageous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rwa66 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Looks very good, nicely presented. With fewer parts, as in these types of models, one can concentrate effort on fit and painting. A tidy and attractive build, well done. Cheers Richard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
