Hi All,

Well last night after having a look through my stash to find something to build for the PT boats campaign I came across a box with a couple of Taratul's and Osa's in, later discovered the Tarantul's are corvettes so come up with this.


It's two Tarantul's a batch 1 and batch 2 escorting an Echo II SSGN out to sea.
Very early stages yet, please let me know what you think.




The Echo is from Pitroad while the Tarantul's are early Dragon.

Ciao
Luciano

Ciao Luciano

I also have the Dragon box and I should say that you could improve the looks of the Tarantul/Osa with some PE raillings and also the inclusion of some crew members!


This is what my friend Filipe Ramires has done with one of those
Sorry for the quality of the photo

Thanks Skipper due'ly noted.

Nice build by the way, there's something about the Russian/Soviet ships with radar and ariels sticking out everywhere.

Ciao
Luciano
