Ernie Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 This will be my attempt using The Dad's Army Option. I never though of Iran as having a submarine force, but alas they do, as I discovered as I was browsing Ebay looking for sub kits a while back. I have not built an OKB Grigorov kit before so figured it would be a good excuse to try one out. There are two kits in the box, so I will attempt to build them both at the same time. The kit contains the two resin sub hulls, and a fret of photo etch for each with rear planes, rails, prop, and display stand. It has been quite a while since I have built a 1/700 scale kit, so this will be a challenge all in itself, not to mention these are mini-subs, so in 1/700 this means the hull is under 2" long...…. fits well on my pinky finger😮 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandboof Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 And I thought 1/200 was small Good luck Martin H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Going to take a break on this for a bit. Knocked the handrails off the sail on one of the subs, one landed on the bench and one hit the floor. After a few minutes searching and about to give up, I found the wayward rail which was happily tweezered up placed safely on the desk. Seemed like a good time to knock off for a bit! Before that though, most of the assembly was done and I have made a start on a display base. When we were put earlier in the day we stopped at the local craft store and I got piece of Bass wood which has been cut, sanded, and stained with the first coat of polyurethane applied. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim R-T-C Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Looking forward to seeing the finished product. I may have just ordered the same kit from eBay. There goes my new year, no new kits resolution before it even started! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
