Dmitriy1967 Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Heavy aircraft carrier KIEV Model 2. This model is represented in the aircraft carrier escort combat group, so it was not possible to photograph it very closely. But I liked the quality of this model much more. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssn705 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I have to get there and see these models and the whole museum in person. Thank you for posting these, especially Moscow since she had long been a favorite of mine. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitriy1967 Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 There is also a giant MILITARY HISTORY MUSEUM OF ARTILLERY, ENGINEERING TROOPS AND COMMUNICATIONS TROOPS in St. Petersburg. But I will not report this in the armor section on this site. Otherwise I will die with a camera in my hands. https://www.artillery-museum.ru/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance they have some of any of the Kirov/Adm Ushakov or Typhoon/Akula (the SSBN 941, not the SSN) classes? If you can find the Kolchida/Tamara, I'd be eternally grateful and more than happy to return the favour of anything that catches the eye in the National Maritime Museum. David Kolchida/Tamara I didn't find in the museum. There is a AKULA (Shark)/TYPHOON. There is KIROV (demonstrated as PETER THE GREAT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitriy1967 Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 Heavy strategic missile submarine (trpkSN) project 941 AKULA. The largest submarine in the world. The only one built on the principle of a catamaran with two sturdy hulls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever you do find the time to visit again, could I ask if you would mind trying to get a few of any Gangut Class Battleships? I am interested in the Sevastopol. I feel cheeky asking but would be grateful for any images - the models are superb quality and really appeal as a source of information, and inspiration!

Dmitriy1967 Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 The model of the ship shows its condition for 1938. The model was built in 1/50 scale in 1941. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adm Lord De Univers Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Fantastic! I cannot thank you enough for all these photos. Whilst redoing a Typhoon won't be hard enough (the kit was cheap), to add in all that detail, what I'm most surprised about are the Pyotr Velikiy's deck and hull colours. That'll at least get it away from the hull red and brick red deck. I also think I've seen it anglicised incorrectly, is the 'e' a 'yeh'? Pyetr? I have much to gawp at, thank you again.

David It is difficult for me to convey the correct sound when pronouncing Peter in Russian. There are sites that voice the written text online. Try: https://voxworker.com/ru There you need to clear the input window and insert there written in Russian letters Петр Великий. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all the photos that I have seen, the color of the deck of these cruisers is a red-brick meerkat. Compared to other models in the museum, this model has a very low level of reliability and a small scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you anything I've been pronouncing харошо wrong too. Sounds to me like the e in Peter is 'yo' sound after all - oddly enough.

Norseman 3:16 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hi Dmitriy, Thank you SO much for taking the time and effort to get superb pictures of the Sevastopol! The detail is excellent and very clear. This is very helpful - I cannot thank you enough. I am now getting ready to make prints of them all.

Dmitriy1967 Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 HMS AJAX Built by Vickers Armstrongs Limited Barrow-in-Furness Model in scale 1/48 Unfortunately, the model of this cruiser is displayed in a dark corridor. Opposite there are windows and one wall lamp, which are reflected in the glass and interfere with photographing. Therefore, I apologize for the poor quality of the photos. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickrd Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Dear Dmitry, Thank you so much for taking these wonderful photos of this builder's model of Ajax showing her as in 1935 for me. They show perfectly the areas of deck that I was interested in and which could not be seen properly in the photos of this model which I already had. Although the new Flyhawk model of Ajax depicts her in 1939 after certain changes had been made, your photos will nevertheless be a great assistance to many. (Did you mange to find out WHY this model is in Russia?!) Best wishes, Richard Edited February 2, 2022 by dickrd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Did you mange to find out WHY this model is in Russia?!) Best wishes, Richard I am very glad if these photos will be useful to you. As for getting this model into the USSR, I couldn't find out. There was little time and I did not want to buy the services of a guide. I asked this question to the caretaker of the hall. She said that when they conduct excursions, they say that this is a trophy model. This is incomprehensible to me, since Great Britain and the USSR were not at war with each other at that time. Try to ask this question to the official mail of the museum: [email protected] They answer. But sometimes you have to wait 10-15 days. Ask them to answer in English, otherwise they may send a scan from a paper letter in Russian and it will be difficult for you to translate. Best wishes, Dmitriy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
