A new link, and tied closely to world events.

I've been a fan of Ukrainian model producers for many years. Its always a gas when you check out some new companies you've never heard of and find out they produce "unobtainium" kits of off the wall subjects.

Mikro-Mir is a favorite. They produce 1/350th scale submarine kits that no one else has considered.

Not necessarily made for new builders, but if you hang around with other modelers and you want to see their jaws hit the floor, Mikro-Mir is worth checking out.

Meanwhile...an update.

I was paging through their Mikro-Mir kits and found

https://plastic-models-store.com/pla...stic-model-kit

Its the short hull Sturgeon class (as opposed to the later "stretch" hull) AND its in 1/144th scale.

Ohhhhh, snap.

This is just too large for my display space and I really wish it was a later Stretch hull but... I think one of them will be getting shipped to Iowa.

I just hope Mulsanne Mike is going to produce a resin screw. I can already see this kit getting the old Pearl Harbor Shipyard paint colors of Insignia Red, "Eggplant" purple, and semi gloss black.
