Soviet "Foxtrot" Class Project 641 Submarine 1/350 by MikroMir
Quick build of this MikroMir Soviet Foxtrot Submarine. Relatively few parts
but a challenge to paint & weather this 1962 "Cuban Missile Crisis" boat. This one
is the third in a series of 1/350 Russian Submarines on the bench I'll be
attacking this year. P.S. This sub was equipped with a nuclear armed torpedo.

Nice! It's looking a carrier task force.

Foxtrot was involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
Anti sub aircraft loved to target these submarines.

Very nice, these Mikromir kits are a challenge, there is not always a good fit (I built a German minisub once) requiring a lot of putty. Yours looks great Stu!
Stu Brown said on January 27, 2019
Thanks Michel for the praise. Correct, the MikroMir kits "are a
a bit quirky" for sure. However, they do has a great selection of
various options to build.
