Just purchased from OKB Grigorov....... http://shop.okbgrigorov.com/ A resin kit of the Royal Navy submarine R10 - launched in October 1918 - just to late for the Great War. At just14cm (5.5in) long, the hull is a single superb resin casting - with a separate conning tower and etched brass parts for the diving planes, propeller etc.. The service from OKB was great - just a week from order to delivery - although the box with the hull/brass/instructions arrived first, followed a week later by the conning tower in a separate Jiffy bag!!! The instructions are a bit simplified..... .... but the resin moulding is excellent - crisp and bubble free.... There are no painting instructions - nor decals - which is a pity - so re-creating the drop-shadow pennant number on the conning tower is going to be a pain..... Still, this is a new welcome addition to the range of British submarines, so great work OKB Grigorov. Ken

Another new resin sub kit from ebay seller subsmodels..... I must commend the service of this seller - the kit was ordered on 27 July, posted on 2 August and delivered today, 12 August - excellent service.... It is advertised as a U-Class Group III - which, according to my limited research were labelled as the V-Class. Cast in chocolate coloured resin, it is quite well detailed, but has a slight seam line down the hull where the rubber mould has been split - nothing that can't be fixed with a smear of filler... Port side..... The rest of the resin castings......... Conning tower and periscopes, rudder and diving planes, prop shafts and propellers, deck gun and (I think?) a radio mast. There are no instructions or decals and painting guides and it isn't as cleanly moulded as some other resin kits, but it should clean up into a reasonable model. As I already have a model of a U-Class boat (HMS Upholder) in my collection, I am going to make it as HMS Venturer She gained fame when she sank U-864 - the first time in the history of naval warfare that one submarine intentionally sank another while both were submerged.
