I don`t understand why you get it so personal. You said you don`t like my ship and that`s ok, but why keep commenting?
Anyway, i do lack experience in this area and it`s quite different than making a tank or airplane.
You can`t use putty on joint of superstructure and deck since when you try to sand it deck details would completely destroyed.
On the other hand that Trumpeter model isn`t really Tamiya where it all fits without problem, there were a lot of problems with part fitting.
And in the end i dont know if you ever built ship in 1/700, if you did you would know it`s pretty small and hard to work with, although Kirov is ~40cm in length it`s details are very small on some parts.
As i said i will make ships in 1/350 and then i will pay atention to every single details.
Thank you for information
I saw your model of Kiev and i`m really impressed, i dont think i`ve seen any better model in 1/700 scale!
Which photo etch set have you used for that model?
I will add propellers later, same as on Varyag.
Evey other mistakes, same as on Varyag, still lack of experience in this area of modelism and fact its 1/700 scale but i hope i`ll improve with time on 1/350 :)
I havent done rigging since its too small in 1/700 and i dont have tools for something like that. In 1/350 i will do it of course.
Many small antennas are missing since i used one PE set for both ships (my budget is limited unfortunately)
I will add propellers later,i have to find good colour to paint them first :)
Waterline is to big but again it`s really hard in 1/700 to get it better.
Anyway thanks for noticing all errors, i will do my best to fix that in 1/350! :)
@pepereina
Well, there where some other good models too, it shared 1st place with one other :)
I took me 3 months exatcly to finish both single and two seater.
@pepereina
Thanks
I tried to keep them clean, only a bit of weathering and few paint scratches, nothing more
I will probably add some more dust to tracks though, i was in a rush to finish them for a competition
Well it is 3 tone scheme but in operational conditions, colours would really fade and it would be difficult to recognize even theese 2 colours not to mention 3.
But yeah you are right, i missed that detail and on decals i had there were only 2 colours for paint scheme written and i was to lazy to research :)
F-14A has 2 tone cammouflage. Early one with Gull gray and White and later "low visible" with Light ghost gray and Medium gray.
Only F-14s with 3 tone cammouflage were one from test units or agressor squadrons.
AIM-54 was used in Gulf war, it was often carried but only few times fired and it didnt score any kill.
They were in very high res, i resize them for posting on other forums where its posted via photobucket and not direct upload. But ok next time i will post here before resizing
@tihon & alex
Yes, in Serbia. It is MiG-29 that is in active service within Serbian air force. I took opportnutiy to take pictures on airshow :)
@kedroff

Milenko stays in hearts of all Serbs as a true hero though and will be such forever

I was in a rush to finish model for competition so thats why there is no armament. I will add it later.
@vadim
One is single and other is two seater.
No particular reason why i made them with same cammouflage, i just really like that pattern

@boris84
I used brown filter for dark yellow from AK interactive, streaking effects, and wash was made with 502 abteilung oil colours.
@vbu-21
Thanks
Its Revell box, they re-packed Hasegawa models for some time. Everything is same except decals which are better in Revell box.
I painted model as it was shown in Zvezda`s manual.
There was scheme like the one you posted pictures and there was this one.
Yeah i understand Russian, i just cant write well in Russian and i dont have appropriate keyboard for it :)
Thanks by the way
