Last year I asked about paint info on modern Russian Nuc. subs and got some great info. I finished my Zvezda 1/350th "November" class sub and here it is. Sadly this model is no more as its one of the 40 models destroyed when all my shelves collapsed. (lots of moaning, whimpering, crying and finally swearing). None of the models were really salvageable but the shelves are back up and I'm starting to rebuild the collection. This model was painted with Tamiya sea blue darkened with flat black, Testors Acryl anti-fouling red below the waterline and a little rust-all streaking which doesn't show very well. A friend of mine (ex US submariner, claims I didn't add enough rust)
