Tark nikolay kuznetsov paper model. Tutorial for the manufacture of the ship model of the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov. Add-ons and detailing

Russian multipurpose fighter Su-33 crashed while landing on the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov". According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the pilot was able to eject and was picked up by a rescue helicopter. The department said that the accident occurred due to a broken cable, which helps the plane to brake on the deck. As a result, the Su-33 rolled out of the deck. During its short stay at the Syrian coast, "Kuznetsov" has already lost two aircraft.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the incident, said: “This is a very tense, difficult and heroic work. First of all, the point is that the pilot survived. " In mid-November, a Russian MiG-29 fighter, also part of the Admiral Kuznetsov air group, crashed. The plane fell into the water near the aircraft carrier. The pilot was saved. The official cause of the accident was engine failure. Unofficially, the reason was all the same brake cables: "Mig" circled in the area of ​​the aircraft carrier, while on the deck they were trying to fix the cable, torn by the previous landing aircraft. The repair was delayed, as a result of which the fighter simply did not have enough fuel and it fell into the sea.

The only Russian aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" as part of the Russian Navy's ship group is located in the Mediterranean Sea. On November 15, combat aircraft based on it began to strike targets in Syria.

Military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer, commenting on the loss of the second Russian combat aircraft from the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov", draws particular attention to the very senselessness of his mission off the coast of Syria. The expert is sure that the purpose of the admirals who sent the aircraft carrier there was to demonstrate to Vladimir Putin the justification for the huge costs of the fleet:

Why is Putin using an aircraft carrier?

Reuters 10.21.2016
Andrey Sharogradskiy: How common are aircraft carrier accidents associated with breaking braking cables?

Pavel Felgenhauer: Well, in general, they are not very common, otherwise there would be no carrier aviation in the world. They seem to say that the cable broke, but I don't know for sure. Either the pilot was ill-prepared, or the ropes were rotten, or both at once.

- Maybe the problem is that the "Admiral Kuznetsov" is an outdated ship?

“The problem is not his age, which is quite normal for a ship. Aircraft carriers serve for a long time. These are large ships, they are designed for a fairly long service. And the fact that his trip to the Mediterranean Sea from a military point of view is absolutely meaningless - from start to finish. This is purely a PR campaign. The ship was not built for such voyages. He simply has nothing to do there. He could not do anything there and didn’t do anything - only he suffered completely senseless losses.

- But both the aircraft carrier and its aircraft are performing some kind of combat mission?

- He cannot bomb Syria. The planes had to take off from an aircraft carrier and land at a Russian base. There they filled up with fuel and bombs, flew to bomb something. At the same time, the SU-33 aircraft are also not designed for strikes against ground and sea targets. They weren't built for that. They are clean fighters. The pilots are not prepared for this. The planes were supplied with some kind of sighting equipment, but all the same, they were not intended for this. He performs there a completely meaningless function of just such a representation. That is, a life-size self-propelled model of an aircraft carrier is directed towards Syria. True, he walks slowly, because, again, he is not intended for warm waters. It is a purely fighter aircraft carrier to protect deployed strategic nuclear submarines. He no longer has any special goals. Therefore, he must be in the Barents Sea, where there are his charges - strategic nuclear submarines. He must protect them from anti-submarine aircraft in the event of a nuclear war. It has a power plant that is not intended for long-distance hikes. Airplanes that are not designed for bombing strikes and any other strikes against naval targets too.

- Why was "Admiral Kuznetsov" sent on a campaign in the Mediterranean?

- The admirals wanted to show Putin that trillions are not being spent on the navy for nothing, that the navy can do something. But the demonstration is not very convincing, because in reality "Kuznetsov" can do nothing useful - only lose airplanes. Unlike Peter the Great, whose nuclear power plant is designed for long-range cruises, Kuznetsov was never intended for them. Even the official autonomy is only 40 days.

- And because of what, in your opinion, the accidents occurred?

- Most likely, they are tired - the crew, the pilots. The load for them is peak. It means - mistakes, losses. These are not American aircraft carriers that are constantly at sea. They have replacement crews there. This is a completely different thing. "Kuznetsov" was sent to portray that our fleet can operate in the Mediterranean almost like the American one, that money should be spent on it. In the middle of next year, the rearmament program until 2025 should be approved. And there the main expenditure item is precisely naval weapons. This is very important for the fleet. Because if funding is cut, then the leadership of the General Staff will, of course, substitute the fleet in the first place. Well, their programs are wildly expensive. Monstrous. It was very important for them to show that they can do something, that they are not completely useless. Although in reality, our fleet for such regional conventional wars, in general, is useless. No, they play an important supply role there in Syria. There, every day, 2,000 tons of various supplies are delivered to Syria. And the fleet does it, including landing ships. They bought old ruins abroad, transport ships. They are sailing under a naval flag so that the Turks do not inspect them in the straits. They supply the group in Syria.

And the naval unit ... Well, yes, it fires these cruise missiles, which is also wildly expensive and, in general, useless. Not that it's completely useless, but pointless. Because shooting rockets for $ 5 million at militants in Toyota is a rather pointless exercise. It's good that no one has died yet. The pilots are saved. Though will they fly or not? After a bailout, pilots usually no longer fly. There, back injuries can be very serious. And we have very few deck pilots. Two have already suffered. This is not good, because one of them will probably not fly anymore. Maybe both. All this in order to depict the existence of an aircraft carrier, which is not an aircraft carrier. It will be good if it goes back on its own.

- So what are the planes on the Admiral Kuznetsov not of the type that are usually based on it?

- Why not those? The same. And we have no others. The SU-33, aka SU-27K, is no longer in production. There are a dozen of them left. Yes, it crashed, but there were only three or four of them. They, apparently, do not fly at all after this accident. In principle, in theory, the aircraft carrier should be delivered, when it returns, for major repairs, rebuilt for the MiG-29. Because the SU-33 has not been produced since the early 1990s, and there seem to be no plans to produce it. And the MIG-29 is being produced. He was brought to mind for India. True, they installed French avionics for India. Which one is now on those few planes that we have, I do not know. But the plans are such - to remake "Admiral Kuznetsov" under the MIG-29. Because the SU-33 is almost gone. So he left with a dozen planes. Well, what kind of aircraft carrier is it - it has 10 aircraft in total and a deck crew. Before that it had been under repair for years, but now it’s such a long march, and even with constant combat work. The admirals, like in a casino, put it on "zero" - they say, this ship, which is not designed for such tasks, in this heavy, wild tension, in such conditions will show itself remarkably. Well, they didn't do it very well. So far, there have been no particular successes. They reported that they had killed some 30 militants. And since the aviators always exaggerate the enemy's losses by at least 10 times, then maybe, indeed, two or three people were killed.

I present the first joint project saigon & SilverGhost... The model of the only Russian heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov from Trumpeter has been on the market for 13 years. You won't surprise anyone with this model and its shortcomings. It was in those years that Trumpeter "earned" its well-known negative reputation among domestic aircraft and ship modelers. But the release of an etching set from the domestic firm Microdesign gave rise to interest in assembling the Admiral Kuznetsov model with this particular set.

Start

The model was built jointly by Anton "Saigon" and Andrey "SilverGhost".
The purpose of the assembly was to obtain a neat collective image of a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser as of 2010-2012 with etching without major alterations and modifications of the plastic itself. In view of the huge number of shortcomings of the plastic set itself, we did not pursue copying and reliability, and we did not drive the crooked model into no less crooked drawings. Nevertheless, we tried to combine our very different and best sides as modelers and apply them in ship modeling, making an amendment to the tight deadlines.
The work was divided into stages and was carried out in places in parallel, which made it possible to shorten the time frame and build a model in 3 months. Anton did most of the work - dealing with the deck, superstructure, etching and detailing assemblies, painting the model and the air group. Whereas Andrey was engaged in alteration of the propeller-rudder group, modifications and assembly of the hull and air group.

About the model

As usual, a bit of history about the prototype models. "The first swallow" was a model of Admiral Kuznetsov from Italeri in 1991 in a scale of 1/720. The model was still called "Tbilisi" at that time. In 1992, this model was repackaged by Revell under the name "Varyag", making a typical foreign boxart with an incorrect inscription in Russian "Varyag"... In the same year the model was repackaged by Testors, in 1995 Italeri updated it as "Admiral Kuznetsov". Since 2000, the model has been produced by Zvezda and in parallel produced under the Italeri brand. The model is quite primitive and was taken from the first photographs of the ship, when it was still being tested in the Black Sea. Therefore, it represents only a collective image of the ship from a distance of more than a meter.

In the 1990s, a 1/800 scale toy model from Kitech was released, which was sometimes found on sale with a boxart with a typo. " Admiral Kuznetson"In the 2000s, this model was repackaged by Zhengdefu.

In 2005, the first serious model of this ship was released - from Trumpeter in 1/350 scale. In 2011, her repack with new sprues and etching appeared in a kit called "PLA Navy aircraft carrier" (actually Liao Ning). The models differ in sprues with weapons, island detailing, a different air group and the presence of etching in the Chinese version.

At the same time, in 2005, a similar model of the TAVKR Kuznetsov from Trumpeter was released, but in a scale of 1/700. This model was later repackaged by the Pit-Road and reissued by Trumpeter in 2012 and 2016 as "PLA Navy aircraft carrier" and Liao Ning.

"Well, now let's return to our crucians" (C). More precisely, one, but very large.

Overview

At this point, there could be an overview. But it won't. It will simply be said here that there was a mountain of sprues and parts in a box that could fit an adult representative of Southeast Asia. Something about 1000. The box was immediately given under the "fluffy family" program to the cat library to the delight of Barsik, and the bottom of the box turned out to be an excellent garage for Porshik in 1/8 scale. 13 years of casting were not in vain for the model. Chips, plastic shrinkage and shrinkage all over the place. At this point, you could traditionally kick the Star for casting, but today you can safely and deservedly kick the Trumpeter. Another 10-15 years of casting, and this "high-tech model" will sink to the level of Novo shitty stuff by toy factories of the 1990s.

Surface of the hull

The ship's hull is successfully divided into 2 halves along the waterline (except for the individual halves of the bow bulb / antenna fairing of the Polynomial Joint-Stock Company), which made it possible to modify them separately before joining the halves of the hull, without dragging the entire hull assembly.
First, cosmetic improvements were made to the surface of the hull. The upper part of the hull is cast in one piece with metal and plastic lintels along the waterline. Unfortunately, there is no sense from these jumpers, since they expand the upper part of the hull, and it is easier to cut them out before docking with the bottom in order to adjust the width of the hull in place.
The main problems of the above-water part of the hull:

• lack of aft balcony with through holes on both sides
• incorrect shape of the stem and deck at the junction with each other (the deck goes too abruptly into the stem)
• irregular stem shape in the waterline area
• incorrect shapes and location of anchor haws, no joining of the compartment sash above them
• incorrect shape and dimensions of the notch on the stern transom
• lack of various small cutouts for gangways and balconies on both sides
• incorrect balconies for ZRAK Dagger in the bow and RBU-1200 and AK-630 at the stern
• wrong shape of the balcony with a crane on the starboard side
• offset of the cutouts in the board in the area of ​​the island
• the forward aircraft lift is shifted to the stern
• incorrect and incomplete detailing of balconies and cutouts below deck
• every little thing like scuppers and portholes has simply not been tested anymore, but be prepared to edit it too
• there is a suspicion that the collapse of the sides in the bow is done incorrectly
• the body sharply narrows in width in the area of ​​the bow balcony with ZRAK Kortik and VPU SAM Dagger

Correcting all this was not part of our plans and terms, so we limited ourselves to the most necessary minimum.
The aft balcony and through holes in the sides for it were cut. Fortunately, Microdesign etching provides for this revision and provides roof rails with bale strips and views for the cut aft balcony. Microdesign, alas, gave it only 1 type of views. There were at least 2 types of them on the aft balcony, as well as spiers and other equipment. WEM has views of the second type. An imitation of a deck, bulkheads was made of Aurora-hobby plastic sheet (for strength, a lattice of sprues was glued to them on the reverse side), etched doors from Rainbow, home-made casings with communications and various equipment made of plastic scrap were added for reasons without fanaticism. Then niches for the side gangways and balconies were cut out in the hull, which Trumpeter depicted in plastic with joining or shallow recesses. Unfortunately, it was later revealed that Trumpeter had mismarked these niches and needed to be cut elsewhere. Sheets were made to simulate the insides of these niches and balconies, and etched doors were added. Ideally, for a better life for gophers, a power set had to be done there. But we decided to put our gopher on a diet and not do unnecessary work that no one else will appreciate.

Bottom

• incorrect shape and cross-section of the antenna fairing of the SJSC "Polynom" in the nose
• propeller-steering group (VRG - deadwoods, shafts, shaft brackets, screws) as if from another ship and are located incorrectly
• short keel and incorrect hull lines
• zygomatic keels not located there and of a different size
• handlebars are located incorrectly and have a different shape at the junction with the bottom
• the bottom of a real ship in the stern is flatter and passes more gently into the keel than on the model. That is, the propeller-rudder group should be located further forward from the stern.

The VRG of the model looks like a foreign body from another ship, and when you look at the bow of the ship, you understand that "there is a boy in front of you."
To fix the radome of the Polinom antenna, it would be necessary to mold a new radome from a two-component putty and possibly correct the contours of the hull in the nose for normal docking with it. Therefore, we decided to confine ourselves to a slightly simpler, but more noticeable modification - to replace the entire propeller-steering group of the ship.
In the photo trying on native Trumpeter parts, you can see that the propeller shaft is too long and thin. The manufacturer offered to attach it to the body with as many as two brackets. There are no deadwoods at all, and the rudders and shafts of the outer propellers are located too far from the centerline of the ship. I was never able to figure out what Trumpeter's developers smoked when they fantasized about the bottom of the model. But the figment of their imagination now reverberates in terrible dreams to all the harsh shipbuilders who have ever seen the "naked Kuzya" at the dock.

The keel of the hull was lengthened by an insert made of black plastic (this was exactly what the model plate had been used for) and received a new shape. In the model, the keel joins the bottom almost at right angles without a smooth transition, while on the prototype there is a smooth transition from the keel to the bottom. The first attempt to sculpt contours from the GSI Mr. White Putty model failed miserably. It does not dry when applied with a layer thicker than 1-2 mm.

I had to choose between the standard solution to use Tamiya two-component putty, Novol two-component automotive putty, or to test it altogether. But since the deadlines were tight, and we are not looking for easy ways, we decided to test it. The new bottom contours in the stern at the keel were molded from Poxipol, a two-component epoxy cold-welded adhesive. The glue is mixed in proportions 1 to 1 and is applied as a viscous paste within 1-2 minutes to the model. After a few minutes, it begins to polymerize and can be shaped with your hands, using hygienic gloves or by wetting your hands with water. When dry, it heats up, practically does not shrink and allows you to work with large volumes and surfaces. Gains strength in less than a day. New contours were molded from Poxipol in 2 iterations and sanded in 2 evenings. It is well polished and processed with sandpaper on a mandrel of dimensions 200 and 400. As mandrels for "emery" I used syringe bodies of different diameters. Finer-grained "emery" is already polishing it. Vugs and bubbles may be present in the treated surface, but this usually becomes visible during the priming step and is removed with GSI Mr. Dissolved Putty.

From a thick sprue from an ancient Hasegawa B-47 Stratojet 1/72 bomber model, new deadwoods were machined using a drill. The propeller shaft brackets were machined from the base mount of the Yahagi 1/350 light cruiser from Hasegawa and the Aurora Hobby plastic sheet. The photo shows the painful process of dry fitting the entire VRG, setting the angles and lengths using Patafix pieces. Propellers of relatively similar shape and size were custom-cast as billet brass. They had no cocks, and the blades had a shape and twist not quite the same as on Kuznetsovo. These propellers are more suitable for ships from the 1940s-1960s. It took a week of work to refine them, sharpen the edges of the blades, remove molded seams and successive processing with files, sandpaper of different grain sizes from 400 to 2500, polishing pastes Tamiya, it took a week of work before they shone in all their glory. In addition, from a brass rod with a thickness of 3.4 mm, new screw heads were made from a thick brass wire. The propeller shafts were made of 2mm thick steel wire and polished with Tamiya pastes. For comparison with homemade parts, I attached parts from Trumpeter. The handlebars have a slightly different mount, but I did not change them. They were installed vertically, not obliquely as suggested by Trumpeter.

The new propeller-rudder group was installed in a new way based on photographs of a real ship in the dock - the propellers, rudders and shafts became much closer to the ship's centerline than Trumpeter had originally intended. This can be seen in the old white putty Trumpeter VRG bindings. As a result, after the work done, the feed of the model began to resemble a prototype a little more.
Ideally, you should not build up the keel, but cut it, make the bottom in this place flatter and transfer a little to the nose (relative to what I did) deadwoods, rudders and propellers. But the lack of good photos of the stern profile from the dock makes this difficult. And unfortunately, such photos are unlikely to appear in the near future.

Assembling the case

The body of the model is assembled from 4 parts - the bottom, two halves of the nose cone of the Polinom antenna and the upper part of the body. The body and large parts have numerous casting defects such as plastic shrinkage and shrinkage. The connectivity of all parts of the case is poor. The upper part of the hull was slightly longer and wider than the bottom by an amount of 3 to 5 mm. And when gluing the halves of the hull, the narrower underwater part had to be literally pulled over the wider surface part. Tamiya's Extra Thin Cement Quick Set, a super-fluid and fast-drying glue, helped a lot with this. The main thing is not to glue the entire joint surface at once, but only in segments of 5-10 cm, pulling and pinching both halves with your fingers to the desired position, forcefully tightening the gap and waiting for the area to dry. 15 minutes of work and the body was assembled with almost no gaps. In the same way, the nasal bulb was glued and installed, which, when trying on "dry", stood up with gaps of several millimeters. But the glue did not save from the steps between the parts in the nose, which had to be removed with numerous layers of putty, bringing 3 parts with different curvatures into one surface. Then there was a long and tedious process of puttingty putty with ordinary Tamiya Putty Basic Type and liquid GSI Mr. Dissolved Putty, priming with GSI Mr. Surfacer 1200 and bringing the surface of the case to perfect condition. If the body of the model was made not of plastic, but of metal, then in some places the thickness gauge would not be able to find metal under a dozen layers of soil and putty. The nose bulb, which initially looked like a foreign element on the model, was finally integrated into the uniform contours of the hull.

As a result of all the modifications, the propeller-steering group before painting and shortening the propeller shafts began to look like this. For comparison, I will give photographs of the prototype propeller-steering group in the PD-50 dock.

I got something vaguely similar to the prototype. Far from ideal, but not the pornography that it used to be.

Further assembly of the model proceeded according to a more standard scenario - "fitting - assembly - putty - processing -… - processing - ready". Almost all parts of the hull and superstructure during assembly or installation required careful adjustment, removal of pushers and putty. Remember the modeler, this is a Trumpeter, and picking up every detail of it, you should feel with all your fibers the pain and suffering that you saved and did not buy a normal model of a Japanese cruiser from Tamiya.

All in all, everything is ready to be painted. I took the hull legs from Hasegawa's Yahagi light cruiser. On the cruiser, they look huge, but on the avik, that's it. Thanks to Yura YuraVS! Barsik came to pose to assess the scale of the disaster.

Flight deck

The next difficult stage was the assembly of the flight deck from 3 segments. Deck segments were assembled on a flat surface between themselves. On the rear side, the joints of the deck segments were reinforced with plastic. But since the designer of the model was Trumpeter, the jointing and detailing of the deck did not match when joining two adjacent segments. Who is there swearing at the Zvezda designer who mirrors the door handles and forgets to turn them over? Here, the Chinese developer did not design the deck in a single piece, then breaking it down into segments / parts, but designed 3 parts separately, which did not stupidly coincide in detail and lines. Removing the deck into a single flat plane after assembly with a metal bar and sandpaper glued to it destroyed part of the deck joining. Therefore, the jointing had to be restored and, as it turned out, in vain. The deck itself does not fit into the hull without problems, but putty and gluing strips of sheet plastic in the cracks and joints at the stern solved the problem. The flight deck markings are made both by internal piping on the deck and by decal.

At the same time, they do not coincide with each other and it is better to putty to imitate the marking with internal joining. The decal on the deck itself corresponds to the state of 1991. Therefore, if the ship is made for a later period, the markings in the decals will no longer correspond to the time or will be incomplete. For example, the number of marked technical positions (TP) on the deck increased - from 15 to almost 30, their color changed from blue-yellow to pure blue, the yellow marking of the helipad (element 16) became white and after 1991 the white circle disappeared on the axial dotted line (element 17). The deck marking itself has errors - the TP does not have white markings with their serial numbers, and the axial dotted line on the landing deck is interrupted at helicopter circles. Aerofinisher cables were made from the fibers of the elastomeric thread Spandex.
Strongly stubborn comrades can make a hangar with all the details and lighting. The model allows you to place all the equipment necessary for this, and Aliexpress will help you.

Etching

The Microdesign Etching Kit is a more affordable alternative to the White Ensign Models (WEM) and Gold Medal Models (GMM) parting kits. It consists of 5 etching boards.

The pickling is quite thick, thicker and slightly coarser than WEM. There are no printing defects, with the exception of the un-etched coat of arms of the USSR at the stern. In addition to aviation and deck equipment, all 3 sets are practically similar in composition to each other, with the exception of some details. Microdesign like GMM ignored the etching on the air group, giving only parts for the Ka-27's rotors. Therefore, if you need to modify the Su-33 and MiG-29K aircraft, you will need to buy a separate WEM 35080 Air wing set. Ka-27 helicopters can be modified with a kit from North Star Models. It is of higher quality and more complete than the details that Microdesign and GMM provide. Deck equipment (tractors, firefighters, crane, "shishiga") is available in the Microdesign and WEM sets and its composition slightly differs between the sets. It was made better and more precisely by Microdesign, but WEM, on the other hand, has a carrier for planes.
Instructions for a set of Microdesign is a separate topic. The main and only advantage of the instruction is that it is colored. This is where its advantages end.

The instructions contain typos and are missing many details. There are a lot of confusion about how to assemble subassemblies and how to place them on the model. As a result, 53 out of 160 parts are not indicated in the instructions. In general, in order to correctly assemble this etching and there are no unnecessary parts left, the modeler must be an expert on Kuznetsov's materiel. Otherwise, there is a high risk of errors and unused parts. And the scene from the movie Mask will become very close and dear to you.

Add-ons and detailing

The superstructure and fine detailing against the background of the hull work were already assembled without any problems. Well, except for the standard procedures with putty and file. The only thing missing in the etching is the detailing of the insides of the chimney. There were enough etched railings and roof rails. The antenna arrays of the Fregat-MA radar station on the top of the superstructure should be positioned with a sideways tilt. In the instructions, this moment is not reflected in any way, in the end we made a mistake with this, not looking at the pictures of the prototype in time. The whip antennas along the flight deck were replaced with wire. Also, an imitation of a folded flagpole on the bow was made of wire. Spandex filaments were used to stretch the halyards on the superstructure. The name on the stern is etched, but if mounted, its natural color will not match the letters of the name of the ship on the bow, which is given by the decal. Therefore, so that the color of the letters was the same everywhere, the names of the ship remained decal. The decal stars were replaced with etched ones. Although in reality they are voluminous and that the etching, that the decal do not convey their appearance.
The model can also be enhanced with resin kits from Veteran Model. So you can replace the Kortik (Kashtan) anti-aircraft missile and artillery systems and the AK-630 30-mm six-barreled artillery mounts. North Star Models builds AK-630 resin rigs. Well, there is no limit to improving this model with various etched rails, ladders, knits, rustern grilles (of which there are a lot on the superstructure) and other homemade detailing, which neither Trumpeter nor the aftermarket manufacturers provided in the model. If you look at the pictures of a real ship, then it immediately becomes clear that the model does not even have 10% of that rich detailing of a real ship.
Trumpeter does not include flags in its decal (we take the decal from Begemot to the USSR / Russian Navy) and indentation marks, which can be found in the decal from Kombrig to the Russian Imperial Navy.

Air group

Trumpeter initially provides an air group consisting of 6 Su-27K (Su-33) aircraft, 2 MiG-29K, 4 Yak-141 and 4 Ka-27 helicopters. Yak-141s were never on Kuznetsov's deck, and 2 single-seat MiG-29K 9-31 with hull numbers 311 and 312 were used only during the ship's tests in 1989-1991. Therefore, to increase the size of the air group from 12 to 18 aircraft, additional sets from Trumpeter with the Su-27K and Ka-27 were used. There are also similar sets with the Su-25UTG, Su-33UB, Ka-29 and Ka-31. All these sets are accompanied by decals with stars and with blue, red and yellow side numbers and St.Andrew's flags. The aircraft are molded from a combined gray and black plastic, with a transparent glazing canopy. The helicopters are molded from transparent plastic with fine detailing from black plastic.
Aircraft are assembled worse than their counterparts on a scale of 1/72 of the Star. Putty is required at almost every joint between parts. The keels fit especially poorly on the Su-27K. The individual wing consoles are made one and a half times thicker than the wing at the root. If you assemble aircraft with folded wing consoles, this disadvantage is not striking. But if you make an aircraft with an unfolded wing, then the consoles have to be grinded down in thickness over their entire area. It is better to grind the wing in thickness from the lower plane, so that the jointing on the upper one does not suffer. They also require thinning of the edge of the wings, stabilizers and keels. The inlets of the air intakes are made in a primitive and irregular shape, so you need to cut them as needed and sharpen the edges. All of the above applies to both the Su-27K and MiG-29K. In this regard, Ka-27 helicopters require less assembly effort. The main thing is to carefully glue the halves of the helicopter in the area of ​​the cockpit glazing so that traces of glue inside the joint of the halves are not visible from the side. Immediately after assembling the fuselage of the helicopter, it is better to mask the glazing with GSI Mr. Masking Sol or Humbrol Maskol and prime the parts to reveal any inconsistencies in the assembly of the transparent parts.

For aircraft, etching from the WEM 35080 Air wing set was not purchased, so they came out practically out of the box. Some of the helicopters were assembled with North Star etching, and those that were planned with folded blades - with Microdesign etching. The micro-design only yields rotor blades, a pair of swashplate tripods, and a foldable PVD. The North Star Models etching on the Ka-27 is much richer. In addition to the main rotor blades, it provides a tail unit, more detailed propeller hubs and swashplate tripods, a port door and various small parts. I did not use the etched tail unit, as it looked too flat. The main rotor hub with blades was assembled from 15 parts, while the Microdesign from 5. The etching from North Star is thinner, softer, has a jointing and more delicate design. The micro design is thicker, stiffer and has no blades in comparison. The screw sleeve must be made from wire yourself, although not a single manufacturer in the instructions gives data on its length, and Microdesign still made a mistake with its diameter. Microdesign doesn't have the two small swashplate tripods that North Star gives.
The decal for aviation is another sore spot of the model. Apart from stars, flags and numbers on the MiG-29K, it has nothing to do with reality. On the Su-33, blue numbers are given instead of red, on the Ka-27, blue numbers are given instead of red or yellow. There are no tricolors or eagles for the Su-33. Therefore, whenever possible, the decal for the air group and part of the deck markings should be designed and printed with a new one, for specific aircraft and helicopters. Especially if the late MiG-29K 9-41 and the two-seat MiG-29K 9-47 are made from the MiG-29K 9-31 from the set. The tail number problem can be solved by using the decal from the Trumpeter kits with additional aircraft / helicopters. Although you can try to find and buy a decal from Print Scale. There, in addition to a decal sheet with markings on the deck, there was a decal sheet for aircraft. It had 10 variants of the Su-33, 2 Su-25UTG, 2 Mi-8, 6 Ka-27, 1 Ka-29 and 4 Yak-141. There are questions about the color matching to the markings on the deck (the author of the decal, Aleksey Radetsky, said that it was kind of like for 1991-1994, so it will not work for later periods), but the aviation unit is quite normal for itself - it has tricolors and eagles on the keels of the Su-33 and various elements for other aircraft and helicopters. There is also a decal from Yankee Modelworks, but now it is a rare beast, and it is not clear what quality it is.
Su-27K aircraft models can also be improved by etching from Five Star Models for its Chinese version of the J-15. Separately on the Ka-27 there is an etching set from WEM 3561. There are also resin models Ka-27, Ka-28, Ka-29 and Ka-31 with etching from Orange Hobby. But they don't have clear glazing.
Deck equipment was not assembled, although Microdesign made it better than WEM. The photo shows the etched main rotor - 4 folded propellers from Microdesign and 3 unfolded propellers from the North Star etched.

Coloration

The color of the ship was chosen for the period 2010-2012, when it was repainted from a dark dark gray to a more elegant light gray.

During this period of time, there were 2 options for the color of the waterline - thin white and two-color black and white. The hull and deck were painted together, while the superstructure and almost all the details were painted separately from the hull. First, the waterline was painted white and masked with 1mm Aizu Micron tape. So that there were no paint smudges under the scotch tape, I once again walked over the scotch tape with white. Further, the board was painted in light gray. The deck was painted in a slightly darker shade of this color and in dark gray. Then the bottom was painted red. They forgot to paint the polynomial antenna fairing in silver. At the end the deck covering was painted brick red. The superstructure has been painted light gray using color modulation. The model was painted with GSI Mr. Color. They used a Pebeo XL oil remover on Zippo gasoline, but without fanaticism, since there was no goal to create a dirty and worn out model of the ship.
Aircraft were painted with Vallejo acrylic paints. Su-27Ks were painted in a standard three-color camouflage - the base color with an airbrush, the rest of the camouflage colors - with acrylic with a brush. It was decided to paint the MiG-29K in the late "eggplant" version. Board 311 received this color in 2003, and board 312 has been carrying it since 1992. Despite the fact that these aircraft were unlikely to have been on Kuznetsov's deck after 1991, we decided to install them and dilute the colors on the deck with them. All planes and helicopters retained their transparent glazing. Imitation of cockpits was painted, glazing bindings, landing gear struts, wheel disks, tires, nozzles, radio-transparent panels and antennas, niches and inner sides of the landing gear doors. We did not imitate the glazing sealant - not on this scale, you will manage)))) A wash was also made. It was decided to paint 7 identical helicopters differently. 3 helicopters had an orange stripe on top. One helicopter was painted pure gray to make the Ka-27PL, while the rest were painted in a two-tone Ka-27PS.

Final photo session

It turned out something like this. Saigon cooled the ardor of Silvergost so that he did not saw through all the gophers in the model and did not screw up the deadlines for a couple of years. And Silvergost cooled the ardor of Saigon, so that he would not dirty Kuzya and his air group as if he had survived the universal apocalypse. And also surreptitiously threw up various photos so that the model at least had something in common with the prototype in addition to the name. In response, Saigon sent photos, where everything was specially collected as incorrectly as possible and confused with the words "I don't care, it will do, no one will notice", forcing me to grab the validol, knowing whose General Staff office this mock-up will go. In general, he trolled the stoned shipbuilder in every possible way. And at this time, Anton's wife tried in every possible way to requisition shiny cogs and airplanes for her own. Yes, and I tried to let Barsik in the boat in the bathroom. But the cat's displacement turned out to be much larger than the model. For cat navigation, an aircraft carrier in 1/200 scale was still needed. As a result, under the wild squeals of the cat, the model drowned, and the cat flew out of the bathroom in shock. Sorry, I didn't tell you about this, knowing how much you "love cats". You wouldn't even walk a kilometer to this model after such a desecration.

So, in spite of the work jokes, unlike my nerves and Barsik, not a single fly and gopher was hurt. It was fun, we didn't even take a shit. In some places it turned out even better and smoother than that of a real ship. In any case, Anton's waterline turned out to be much smoother than that of the shipyard.

During the final photo session, the model was constantly being finalized and finished with a file. Forgotten parts, incorrectly installed elements and so on were found. Therefore, it is noticeable in the photographs that some elements, that is, they are not, while others are in a different position or are located. With each new photo, the model was overgrown with unnecessary details, the absence of which was hardly evident. And at the same time, there was still a bag of forgotten and unused plastic and etched parts. I hope no one will be offended that we did not put them))))

Close-ups

In general, according to Anton

But I would still have a separate game with this model.

Comparison with the prototype

First, let's compare the Trumpeter to the prototype in the most common and prominent places.
I made several collages of various models of Trumpeter - ours with Anton, Alexander Mukhin (with a more burgundy bottom) and Andrey Skurenok (with a silver-painted bulb).

And so, the bow

1. the flight deck of the prototype is longer and extends beyond the stem. it must be extended by at least 5 mm in length and the correct joint with the body must be molded.
2. haws need to be redone
3. the shape and section of the bulb have nothing to do with the prototype at all. The fairing is in the shape of an onion (or teardrop shape), wide at the bottom and tapering towards the top.
4. when viewed from above, the bulb has an oval in section, and on the model it is not clear that it is a cylindrical pipe installed at an angle to the horizontal ...
5. The prototype bulb does not protrude much forward relative to the waterline, unlike the model, whose bulb can successfully ram modern cans.
6. the stem line when viewed from the side in the waterline area of ​​the prototype is smoother than on the model

In general, the bulb is completely replaceable, and everything else is fixable with a lot of mat and putty.

We go to the stern

It compares 2 models and a prototype. On the top model, only the screws were replaced. Centered is our attempt to fix Trumpeter pornography. Well, below is a photo of the prototype. In general, despite the efforts, we still have something to work on and work on. But it looks better. And the original AWG should be thrown into the trash.

Comparison in the layout of the detailing along the sides

Of course, the photographs were shot imperfectly, due to the difference in angles and focal lengths, there are slight displacements.
But some things are already striking.

TAVKR "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov". Star 1/720


Good health to all, dear colleagues in creativity.
This is my second model, which I have collected after a long break in 15 years in the art. It was conceived as an easy walk and rest after assembling the F / A-18E from Italeri, but it turned out to be a long and tedious marathon for 4 months - so much work took in the evenings with the ship and about 3-4 weeks later on the air group. There were also breaks in work caused by family circumstances, repairs, but in the end the ship "went into operation." I present to your attention the TAVKR model "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Admiral Kuznetsov", Zvezda, scale 1/720.
Prototype:
"Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov"(former names - in order of assignment - "Soviet Union" (project), "Riga" (bookmark), "Leonid Brezhnev" (launching), "Tbilisi" (tests)) - heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser of project 1143.5, the only one in the Russian Navy in its class (as of 2011). Designed to defeat large surface targets, protect naval formations from attacks of a potential enemy. Named after Nikolai Gerasimovich Kuznetsov, Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union. Built in Nikolaev, at the Black Sea shipyard. On the aircraft-carrying cruiser, during the campaigns, the Su-25UTG and Su-33 aircraft of the 279th shipborne fighter aviation regiment (base airfield - Severomorsk-3) and the Ka-27 and Ka-29 helicopters of the 830th separate shipborne anti-submarine helicopter regiment (base airfield - Severomorsk-1). More information can be found here: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D0%B4%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BB_%D1% 84% D0% BB% D0% BE% D1% 82% D0% B0_% D0% A1% D0% BE% D0% B2% D0% B5% D1% 82% D1% 81% D0% BA% D0% BE% D0% B3% D0% BE_% D0% A1% D0% BE% D1% 8E% D0% B7% D0% B0_% D0% 9A% D1% 83% D0% B7% D0% BD% D0% B5% D1% 86% D0% BE% D0% B2 or on the Internet.
Initial set:
Flaws:
1. Poor joining of parts, putty was needed on almost all seams. It took me about a month to assemble the parts of the ship's hull, of which there are no more than a dozen, as well as the subsequent grinding.
2. Complete discrepancy between the model and the prototype:
- stern contours, niches on the starboard side in the area of ​​aircraft lifts - have nothing to do with reality.
- there are generally no niches for life-saving appliances, as well as a section of the deck under the flight deck on the port side.
- there is no small superstructure above the wheelhouse.
- there are no hatches for launchers of anti-ship missiles "Granit" on the flight deck.
- there is a large number of portholes on the ship's hull.
3. Low quality of castings - there are a lot of pusher marks, underfills, bursts and small displacements of molds on small parts.
4. In my opinion, the division of the superstructure is inconvenient; it is inconvenient to put all the details together.
5. The detail of small details (weapons, antennas, aircraft) is just awful.
6. The set lacks 2 AK-630 units (this despite the fact that their location on the model is provided).
7. The decal is unimportant: the backing has a yellow tint, there are only 6 landing "circles" for helicopters, not 9 as it should be.
Advantages:
There are not many details, if you don't bother with cuts to make it look like a prototype, then the assembly will not cause problems. And of course, the price of the set.
Assembly:
Difficulties were added only by the poor fit of parts, the presence of all kinds of pushers, underfilling and flaking. I started working with the corps. I collected 2 halves, putty and skinned the longitudinal seam for a long time (the gap was not small, to put it mildly), then the assembly of the stern niche. There I made small bulkheads and a ceiling from a disposable plate to exclude the possibility of observing the interior of the ship. Further, all the external markings on the flight deck were polished, the places where the landing cables would pass were drilled, the hatches of the Granit launchers and the rail track in the aft part of the deck were marked. Further, as I said above, I put it all together for a long time and tediously. In parallel, an etching kit was purchased from GMM Soviet Aircraft Carrier (GMM 700-31), which significantly revived the model with rails, ladders, antenna and radar arrays.
After assembling the ship's hull, I slightly modified the lines of the shafts, replacing them with metal tubes with a diameter of 0.8 mm. The propeller blades were ground down to a more acceptable thickness. This must be done very carefully, because they just strive to break at the point of attachment to the hub. Further painting.
Painting:
The primer is gray Tamiya from a spray can. Then it was like this:
- underwater part of TS-33 Tamiya (Dull Red)
- decks (except for flight) 2: X-7 Red + 1: XF-64 Red brown (by the way, it turned out almost the same with Dull red)
- superstructure, freeboard XF-19 Sky Gray
- flight deck (except for the corner section of the flight deck) XF-53 Neutral Gray
- angular landing part of the flight XF-63 German Gray + XF-53 Neutral Gray in a 50/50 ratio.
After painting the sections of the decks with a reddish-brown color, I masked them with Tamiyevskiy tape and painted the rest. After painting the sides and decks, he began to mark the flight deck. It turned out to be not difficult, but it was long enough and tedious to lay out the masks for the broken lines on the flight. The orange color from Tamia X-6 also added a hassle - he has no covering ability. Even after 3 layers, the color of the decks showed through. The problem was solved by mixing it with red X-7 in a 3: 2 ratio.
Tinkered a bit with the helicopter landing wheels, but this was also solved with the help of stencils for joining and a knife for cutting circular holes OLFA CMP-1.
After completing all the painting work, I made communication antennas from 0.3 / 0.5 mm wire and placed them horizontally along the body. I pulled the landing cables made of wire, diameter 0.2 mm - it was necessary to take thinner, they do not look large-scale.
Further, as standard - glossy enamel varnish (X-22), decals, remover (watercolor + faerie), matt varnish Vallejo.
After the completion of the work with the hull, the superstructure was assembled and put into place. The order of work is similar to the body. And additionally mounted several antennas from a line with a diameter of 0.2 mm on the wheelhouse.
Aviation:
Since the aircraft in the kit looked depressing, I used (ordered additionally) aircraft from Trumpeter in 1 / 700th scale. Wing composition:
- 4 helicopters Ka-27 (2 in the stowed position, 2 in working)
- 2 MiG-29K aircraft
- 2 Su-25UTG aircraft
- 6 Su-33 aircraft
For airplanes (except for 2 Su-33s) I sawed off the wings and glued them in the folded state. I drilled out the nozzles. Of the shortcomings, I note a little flash on the details (easily removed) and oversized OZ: stars 2 times, side numbers a little less.
The coloring of the aircraft was made with what was in stocks and corresponds to the prototypes very conditionally. But, given that the entire model of the ship turned out more "based on motives" - this is not the biggest drawback.
All decals were "welded" with fluids Set and Sol from Microscale.

Thank you all for your attention. Criticism is not forbidden.

Good health to all, dear colleagues in creativity. This is my second model, which I collected after a long break in creativity, and presented on this resource.

Annotation.

The idea of ​​creating a model of the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov" arose due to both objective and subjective circumstances.

The objective reason that prompted the team of the "Shipbuilding" association to undertake the development of the project was the desire to acquaint students with the history of the Russian Navy, to bring them closer to understanding the international situation that existed at the time of the ship's creation.

In the modern world, the Russian fleet protects the country's interests at all latitudes of the world's oceans. The aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov", launched from the stocks of the Black Sea shipyard in 1991, was created to protect the sea formations of the Russian Navy.

The subjective reason for the creation of the cruiser model was the opportunity for students to improve their skills in working with tools, as well as the development of analytical and creative thinking (search for information, acquaintance with the history and technology of the Navy, application of knowledge in physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology). In the process of working on the creation of a model of an aircraft carrier, schoolchildren had to find answers to questions about the technical characteristics of ships, about ways to ensure buoyancy and stability, about the possibilities of eliminatingroll and trim, on the distribution of weapons under the deck of the ship, etc.

The aircraft carrier model is completely radio-controlled: a team of 6 people, being on the shore, has the ability to remotely maneuver the ship, take off and land aircraft (radio-controlled helicopters), and launch rockets.

The presented model is unique:

the ship's hull is built from available materials - plywood, pine laths, fiberglass and epoxy;

a fundamentally new electrical circuit has been developed to control the ship (forward and backward movement, turn);

illumination of the runway and masthead lights is fully analogous.

The work of the team of teachers of the Shipbuilding Association was adequately appreciated by the jury at the All-Russian Children's Festival of Folk Culture "Heirs of Traditions", held on September 8-11, 2016 in the Vologda Region. In the nomination "Traditional shipbuilding" the model took the 2nd place.

This tutorial is intended for teachers of additional education of shipbuilding and ship modeling associations.

Explanatory note.

Aircraft carriers are the personification of the naval power of the state, they are intended to serve and base aviation as a mobile airfield;are carriers of nuclear and missile weapons.

The heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser (TAVKR) "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov" is the only one in its class. It is capable of effectively carrying out anti-aircraft defense of ships, ensuring the safety of nuclear-powered missile submarine cruisers, conducting air operations, and striking large surface targets.

It is part of the Northern Fleet. The Admiral Kuznetsov differs from most conventional aircraft carriers by the use of take-off ramps, the power plant and the presence of the Granit anti-ship missile systems. It is the only aircraft carrier in the world capable of landing and taking off a heavy Su-33 fighter.

On board "Admiral Kuznetsov" may be28 aircraft (carrier-based Su-33 fighters and MiG-29K multifunctional fighters) and 24 Ka-27 and Ka-29 anti-submarine and attack helicopters, Granit missiles (each weighing seven tons and a range of up to 700 kilometers), a powerful system anti-aircraft and anti-submarine defense.

Cruiser dimensions: 306 meters long and 72 meters wide. The Admiral Kuznetsov's speed is up to 32 knots (59 kilometers per hour). The cruising range with an economical course is more than eight thousand miles. Displacement - 61.3 thousand tons.

The radio-controlled model "Admiral Kuznetsov" is a prototype of an operating ship of the Russian Navy, has an engine power of 1.5 kW, and has excellent driving characteristics. When the batteries are fully charged, the power reserve is up to 1.5 hours.

The aircraft carrier model measures 3m long and 80cm wide (scale 1: 100), and is advantageous in comparison with the ready-made ones soldbench teamsmodelyamimade of plastic "Heavy aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov» scale 1: 350(874x205 mm) or on a scale of 1: 720 (425x100 mm).

Purpose of the tutorial- rendering the necessary assistance to teachers of additional education and schoolchildren in the creation of operating radio-controlled models of ships on the example of the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov".

Tasks:

Acquaintance with the materials and manufacturing technology of the aircraft carrier model;

Improving the skills of working with tools;

Use of elements of design, electrical, physical and mathematical knowledge.

Relevance benefits:creating a model of a powerful modern ship serves as a way to attract students to the Ship Modeling Association.

Heavy aircraft carrier model

"Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov"

Materials for work:

Wood, birch plywood (10 mm), blanks of bars of various sizes, slats with a thickness of 2-4 mm (of various lengths and widths, since they will be joined during operation), epoxy resin (10 kg), fiberglass (3 rolls) , car putty (4 kg), primer, wood impregnation, car paint, sanding tape (paper), hot melt glue.

Tools:

Industrial stapler, jigsaw, grinder, drill (screwdriver), angle grinder (grinder), nippers, cutting tools (knives, saws), spatulas (rubber), thermal gun.

Stages of work:

a) On the Internet we find drawings of the model of the aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov".

b) We increase the size of the drawings in accordance with the selected scale. We make templates of the main parts on paper. We transfer templates to plywood. We cut out the blanks, process them with sandpaper, removing small chamfers at the edges and removing chips and burrs.

c) We put on transverse frames on two longitudinal beams(Frame (Dutch. Spanthout, from spant - "rib" and hout - "wood") - the transverse rib of the ship's hull; wooden or metal transverse stiffening element of the hull of the ship, aircraft).

In the upper part of each frame, a groove is provided for securing 2 load-bearing beams (each measuring 20x50x5000 mm). We use hot melt glue to connect the frames with the beam.

Internal view of the ship's hull with installed frames.

d) When the glue on the frames is dry, we begin to sheathe the sides with thin strips. The thickness of the material should be 0.8 - 1.2 mm, because only in this case we will be able to bend the trim parts without the risk of damaging them. We fix the sheathing slats with a stapler at the points of contact with the frames.

The initial stage of work on the ship's skin:

We finish building the bow:

e) After the hull plating, we eliminate the irregularities and roughness of the lath plating using a grinding machine. In places of the most pronounced defects, deflections, we apply a layer of putty on wood in order to save epoxy resin.

Sealing of inter-lath joints with a mixture of epoxy resin and sawdust:

f) Grinding of the ship's hull after impregnation with epoxy resin glass cloth applied to the skin:

g)We make from thinplywood deck superstructures, which include the ship control center, radar station (radar), navigation control system.

The central control unit of the ship's course:
