The Hunt for Red October

Augie
Wow great idea Sven, just one thing. USS Dallas was a first flight 688 with the hydroplanes on the sail.

Sven Schönyan
Hi Augie, the Hobby Boss kit is a 3 in 1. You can build all flights out of it. There are two upper hulls and two sails included. So I built a full hull Dallas and still have the possibility to build a waterline dio with the second upper hull as a Flight II 688. Only the upper rudder needs to be scratched therefore.

Gerald
nice 👍

Interesting project (and one of my fav movies)

Augie
Ahh excellent 🙂

What a great idea - I love the movie. Will you do a Typhoon with "caterpillar drive"?

Sven Schönyan
Thanx for interest! I think of showing a caterpillar drive but only in form of closed hatches. At least this is my thinking so far

Spanjaard
very interesting. I did a Red October with the extra missile tubes and caterpillar ports almost twenty years ago... i wish i would have know then a few of the things i know now 😄
You are doing almost everything that appears in the movie!!. I will certainly follow this one 🙂

Sven Schönyan
Even better, Spanjaard: I try to cover a lot from the novel! This gives even more opportunieties. E.g. there is one chapter in the book where a squadron A-10 do a fake run against the Kirov. I love ship but I like to build something else not so time consuming, too. So a warthog will join this project on day.

Robert
One of my favorite books. Read it at least once a year 🙂 I'll follow this.

Spanjaard
even A-10, cool.

Martin Oostrom
So will I. Popcorn please!
When this is done, try "Red storm rising" 😉

Sven Schönyan
Thank you guys for your interest!

@ Martin: there is already a Red Storm Rising project in progress

Martin Oostrom
Shame on me. 😉
But good to know!
