Meeting the wishes of many modelers, I’ll talk about how I made a kit for the construction of the Soviet multi-purpose submarine, pr. 971. This boat has the NATO classification name “Akula II”. The model was built on a scale of 1:72 and has a length of 157 cm. The whole process of construction, from a simple wooden block to hacking the case in the matrix, took me about 2 months.

That prop looks good on there. What is next on your build log?

Nicely turned Firma555. I like how you achieved the tube door outlines. And what Tom said about the propeller. Did you make the propeller and hardware also?

[firma555]

This project is custom-made, and so far I'm not planning anything new. I will continue to work on the prospectus U-151

[firma555]

No, I bought a propeller

Thank you for sharing your work. I know it is a lot of work to take photos and upload and add wording to make it informative. Sometimes with little response, bit know that there are many enjoying your work. You, sir, are a craftsman!
I learn from your work.

Very nice! What is the coating you use on the wood before sanding it smooth?

I apply several layers of grounding and then polish

Hello everyone, I want to provide you with information about scuppers, which, if you want, can be made for the Akula II model.
The following photo shows an experimental specimen of scribe.
This instance of scribe is made in 5 different options:
Option 1 - the most primitive and, of course, the cheapest (one etched plate)
Option 2 - The twine consists of 2 plates and shows a certain volume.
Option 3 - Sheepat has a volume (in my opinion the most optimal option)
Option 4 - a lattice plate is soldered on the back side.
5 Option - (for gourmets) a volumetric grill is soldered on the back side.
The number of scuppers that will be included in the kit, you can count on the common plate attached to the photo.

Installed the lower scuppers

Ahhh, I see....You engrave/etch into a brass sheet and install that. Excellent. Thank you for those photos!
