1/350 Kirov (Trumpeter)
G'day all. This is my model of the Russian battle cruiser Kirov, which I built it over a period of about six months. I used Tamiya paint and both GMM and WEM Photo etch, some L'Arsenal anchor chain and some brass barrels for the AK100s
The main structure had some fit problems but super glue and zip kicker held things pretty good, and plenty of filler and sanding was involved as well. The numbers on the decal sheet don’t match any numbers for the Kirov so I mixed them up to make a Kirov number. I also added some ribs to the inside of the hanger doors as these were plain and removed all the moulded on ladders and replaced them with photo etched ones. That’s about it, so I hope you all like it.
