HM Sub R10 - resin kit from OKB Grigorov


Recommended Posts

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. :clap2:  :worthy:
