I have the kit of Kalinin/Admiral Nakhimov. What are the differences of her compared to Pyotr Velikiy? What is her current status? Pyotr Velikiy has launchers and the Cross Sword radar for SA-N-9 Gauntlet (Klinok) aft. But there appears to be also positions on the forecastle, which are still empty. Does also Admiral Nakhimov got the Klinok SAM system? Or does she only have SA-N-6 Grumble (Rif), SA-N-4 Gecko (Osa-2M) and CADS-N-1 (Kortik/Kashtan) for anti aircraft defence? Best regards Lars ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) From Lars Scharff Subject Gromoboj Hi, I want to build the Russian armoured cruiser Gromoboj (Kombrig kit) after the 1916-17 refit with two additional 20,3 cm (8 in) guns. I have only a profile, but no drawings from above, showing the shape of the new platforms for the guns and also no drawings of the gun. Does someone can help me? Here are pictures of Gromoboj with the additional 20,3 cm guns http//www.warship.get.net.pl/Rosja/Cruisers/ACR_1900_Gromoboj_class/Gromoboy_08.jpg http//www.warship.get.net.pl/Rosja/Cruisers/ACR_1900_Gromoboj_class/Gromoboy_15.jpg Best regards Lars ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRADERS, ANNOUNCEMENTS & NOTICEBOARD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) From "Michiel en Petra" Subject Kits and book for Sale Hello, I am cleaning and have some kits for sale (more will follow).
