GREMYASHCHY (Sovremenny
Class Destroyer) |
||||
|
THE IDEA
|
While my intention was to focus on USN ships, I have grown fond of Russian ships as well. Having found a copy of Dragon's Sovremenny class, I decided to 'squeeze' it in between other projects as it should be a fairly easy build. The kit does not have too many parts and since Dragon was kind enough to include PE parts already, I expect to not run into too many problems building this ship. I will be depicting the Gremyashchy as she is one of the two Sovremenny class ships in the Northern Fleet which be joining the Admiral Kuznetsov carrier group in the future. Here are some pictures of the finished model: |

 After all the putty and sanding, some PE and first details added |
||||
 Some before and after PE pictures of the foremast, added details of the 130mm guns and the SA-N-7 launchers |
||||
 Before and after pictures of the foremast, as well as the forward superstructure. More work on the midship |
||||
 Final details to the stack / hangar and midships |
||||
 More railings, this time taken from the GMM set. Also, the set comes with excellent helipad safety nets and I exchanged the plastic ladders on the sides for the ones from the set as well |
||||
 All railings mounted and the stern was remodelled, assembly of the main mast with all its details, adding the finishing details to the foremast |
||||
 All main componants are now ready for painting | painting the decks step by step, adding life rafts and radomes and attaching the fore and main mast |
||||
 The interim result. Next step is the final detailing: adding the antennas, rigging |
