CADS-N-1 Kashatan M CIWIS

[Pappy]

G'day people,

 

It has been a while since I have been able to get to the bench. I bought this kit a while ago when it was on sale as a mojo restorer. I took it along with me during a recent business trip. I was able to build it in sub-assemblies and transported it in a resealable plastic food tub to afford  a level of protection during transit stages. I am not sure if it belongs here but as it is a naval based CIWIS system this seems the logical place. This build was mostly OOB, I only added a few small embellishments. The kit allows you to position the kit in both azimuth and elevation and I have posed mine as if it were engaging using one of the 9M311-1 (NATO: SA-19 "Grison") missiles, one of which is provided,

 

 

The Kashatan M is a formidable piece of kit.  It is armed with 2  x six barrelled Gsh-6-30  30mm cannons and up to 8 x  9M311-1 SAMs, this is not the system you would want to run into in a dark alley!

The destructions tell me that it has the ability to engage up to five targets in a minute with a pK of 96-99%

 

Anyhoo, onto the pics

cheers,

 

Pappy

Gidday Pappy, yes, I believe here is the correct place to display it, being naval. I've never heard of this (WW1 & 2 being my main area of interest) so I've just looked it up. It looks a formidable piece of equipment and I agree, I wouldn't want to come up against this if it's actual performance matches what it's reputed to be capable of.

     You've done a great model of it. What scale is the model - apologies if you've already said and I missed it.    Regards, Jeff.

 

P.S. I just saw the tags  -  1/35 scale 🙂

My goodness! That looks like something from the Warhammer Universe - a very mean fighting machine. You've done a great job. Perfect assembly and exceptional painting/weathering. I think it looks very real, which is why it's so difficult to discern the scale. I guess your mojo is fully restored and firing on all cylinders!

G'day fellas,

 

Thanks very much. It is 1/35 scale as per the tag. I mainly build jets but every now an again I will build something floaty,

 

cheers,

Having just about completed the Seadart and Seawolf versions I am loving these kits different and fun to build.

 

that is a cracking build @Pappy

 

Stay Safe

G'day Beefy,

 

Thanks very much. It was actually your Seadart build that got me interested in these kits. I would love to see a Standard missile launcher or perhaps  a Sea Slug launcher. I have a resin Phalanx kit which is HEAPS more involved with lots of test fitting and adjusting to get the PE and resin to play nice. All of the resin parts need their casting blocks removed and then they need to be cleaned up.  These kits are doddle by comparison with excellent fit and minimal clean up. I basically put the Kashatan together over a  few evenings while watching to 'Le Tour"

 

cheers,

Cheers Bertie, yup Mojo is back and I am ready to rip! This was a very nice build, everything just fit and I had fun doing the research. I must confess I didn't know much about the system when I started, but it is a very similar set up to the land bases 2S1 'Tunguska" SAM system

 

cheers,

Nice one Pappy, great job. You have given me inspiration to go back to mine. I got as far painting both the kashtan and sa-n-7 kits grey and then got sidetracked onto something else.

G'day Mick,

 

Thanks very much. I hope you get back to yours, it seems like you are mostly there and they are mostly one colour. While doing the research I found both dark grey and the rusty orange coloured decks. I thought the orange would be  anice splash of colour and would show up colour modulations better. I hope we get to see your SAMs soon,

 

cheers,

Impressive and unusual

Very nicely finished

Nice work. This gives me an idea what they look like on a 1/700 Kirov Class Battlecruiser. ⚓👍

[Robertone139]

Nice build and very nice painting.
