As I have answered to Kenny on his Monday Mornit SitRep post, I have been fidling around with a HobbyBoss 1/700 Kilo sub...

Here is a little hint on what's coming soon (review/MOD)
Hope you like it, and as usual, comments are welcome (good or bad!!!)

That's the first time I've seen the effect of an overflight shadow used. That's terrific!

Hi Rick

Thanks... Actually the "shadow maker" is part of the dio!
I played a little with photoshop to reproduce the 70 and 80's type of surveillance photos (adding blur and converting the image to b/w) that we had aboard to help us recognise the Warsow Pact ships/subs... (appart from Janes).

This MOD will be released during the weekend, so please, wait a little longer

Yup - the only difference from my old days is that I'm accustomed to seeing the shadow of an S-3A in the photos posted on the intel boards.

It looks just right, otherwise, ;-)

Got one!
If you want it I can sent it to you - you just need to make a 1/700 Rick
It's your call, just let me know
