Work In Progress... Part II will come in some weeks as weathering process is really time consuming on this one, I really want a rusty Typhoon, not far from being stratched 😁 Stay tuned 😉

Great movie. Very accurate about the tech. One thing they missed is the Red October should have at lest had her radar mast up to scan for targets. Nice model build. I like building Tamiya 1/32 aircraft.

So cool! you've inspired me to get back to work, over the last two years I've bought 14 or so 1/350th scale subs and one Los Angeles class is really all I've done. My over ambitious plan was to have a special shelf that would show them all side by side, you never get a sense of scale without models you can hold. Thanks for the great video!

Thanks for your interest James, glad to know that it has motivated you to build your subs 😀 Most of my subs are together, as you said it is the best to compare sizes 👍 Have a good time while building yours 😉

@ghkmodels3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your interest John. This kit has some issues but it's still a good one (for me), as I really appreciate the opened bays option. Part II is in progress, a 9 minutes video is ready (18-20 minutes is planed) and I'm about to spray the base colours on the lower hull 😉

ok, first of all, this must have been the best background music in any modelling video that I have ever heard, period. :-) :-) Amazing choice of music, including the Red October soundtrack parts, and so fitting to the subject. Second, I have been waiting for such a video for a long time, ever since I bought the Hobby Boss Typhoon kit some years ago and was put off by its very warped hull halves (so it's not random), its lack of detail in the SSBN tubes and the overdone acoustic rubber tiles. So many thanks for showing us how to improve on this kit. I like the idea of making a template for the missile tubes by inking the circles and "push-printing" the negative on a styrene sheet, brilliant and simple and effective. Also the start of the weathering looks very impressive, I much prefer a heavily weathered look in a sub kit, than the usual clean, museum-style presentations. I can't wait to watch Part 2. Many thanks for a great built! And for the music, did I mention the music? :-) :-) By the way, how did you manage to fix the warping in the hull? By gluing it little by little and holding in place with rubber bands and tape as shown? Or did you also use any hot water to try to slightly "unwarp" the plastic?
@ghkmodels3 жыл бұрын
Many thanks Manos ! 😀 About the "push/printing" process, it was not so efficient, so I had to do it again and measure the odds to get it right. The main problem was to set the styrene sheet at the good place. It could have been easier with the styrene rods glued around the silos surface before the "push/printing" process. For the hull, I started gluing from the bow to the stern with masking tape, some vice pliers, and my hands 😅 A big pressure is needed to get it... just a lil' better ! Really a big disappointment... Oh, by the way, did you mention the music ? 😉😂 That was obvious for me as I really appreciate the movie. I had to get more songs so I choose some old "russian vibes" and others... Now I'm just in trouble with the 2nd part's soundtrack ! 😅 The only song I'm sure about is the final one, still from the movie 😉 Please be patient for the next and final part, the painting process is long and I'm a bit timeless as I work 5 days a week and also have to take care of my daughters and wife 😄 Be sure that I'll try to do my best 😉 Many thanks again for your interest !

@@ghkmodels that was around 35 years ago maybe you're right but I do remember that I got both sub's at the same time .

Well, I'm unable to answer clearly to that question as I have only build the 1/700 HobbyBoss kit and this one, also from HobbyBoss. The cool thing is that you can build it with opened missiles bays. The bad thing is the hull assembling, the lower and upper parts doesn't fit correctly as you can see in the first part of this build. Details are good, but it's a huge sub for its scale, painting is long... Again, I can't compare to other kits, but it seems to be a good one. Hope this helps 😅
