Brad Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 This isn't a bad kit, although I believe the conning tower is a bit inaccurate. It makes up into a reasonably sized model that looks pretty good. I decided on a North Korean submarine after seeing some picture of Kimmy boy riding on one. I liked the green top colour, I have no idea what the anti-fowling paint colour was, but a wine red colour seemed plausible enough. I had a bit of fun with weathering, I figured these things would be pretty battered, they are over 50 years old afterall. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Very nice! I like the water line staining you've achieved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lancaster Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I agree, that staining around the water line is superb! How'd you achieve that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used MiG pigments industrial grey or something like that with a little brown and rust. I painted on a little bit of matt medium then dabbed on the pigment until it had built up into what you see. I tried to replicate what I saw on other soviet subs that were out of the water, the barnacles and crap attached to the hull is a grey-brown kinda colour and I probably could have gone a lot harder. Some subs are completely covered under the water line! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Wow - the RFI section has suddenly just lit up with submarines. Submarines everywhere! Got to love it! I really like this model. I have seen the photos of the fat little jerk in question going for a ride in ‘his’ submarine and think you have the garish green just right! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgizlu Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Very nicely done - the weathering is excellent and nice to see a sub in a colour other than grey! Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUB-SAM Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Really nice job. I also thought about doing a North Korean boat after seeing those photos. If I ever get round to it, id be plenty happy if it turns out like yours. My only criticism is it doesn't have a certain somebody up on the bridge looking outwards with pride for his 60 year old naval technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
