Red Fleet Sailing in!

Good day to everyone on the ship forums! I have a few more pics of some of my Russian ships that I have been building or restoring. Some of them are a bit dusty from the time I had them on the shelf. I tried to clean them as much as possible, but didn't get them all.

Here is a pic of my two Trumpeter 1/700 scale Kirov-class Battlecruisers next to each other:



Then there are my two 1/700 scale Russian STOVL Carriers, the Kiev and the Minsk:



Here is my Moskva that I built more than 21 years ago. It is 1/600 scale reissue of the Aurora kit. I'd been refurbishing this one before moving on to my Leningrad:



Finally, my two 1/700 scale Kuznetsov-class aircraft carriers beside each other:




Behind this fleet is my set of British Carriers being escorted by my 1/600 scale HMS Warspite that was recently completed. Here is a much clearer picture of that beautiful battleship:



She is being followed by 1/700 scale HMS Ark Royal:



Then my 1/700 scale HMS Invincible,



And then my 1/700 scale HMS Illustrious, my newest carrier:



Her is the complete set of my British Aircraft Carriers all together:



Finally, here is a model I did for fun about 12 years ago. I found an old 1/600scale hull of the Tirpitz from Airfix, and also found a full set of main guns that went to it in my Parts Box. But then I didn't know what to do since I already have a Bismarck and a Tirpitz. So, I rummaged in my Parts Box some more, and started putting new masts, electronics, and modern armament on my Battleship. Then I decided I wanted to put a helicopter deck on it, so I cut up a plastic desk divider piece and glued it into place. I painted a 1/700 scale Sea King with Maltese crosses and the rigged it. My "What If?" Tirpitz was done!



Thanks for checking this out, I hope you like them. Stay tuned for more pics of some more of my Navy later on!
