There's really so little to do on this old workhorse of a submarine that I drilled and cut the tank vents. The Iconic Akula. 🇺🇸/👁️\🇷🇺

Great video. I especially appreciate you showing us the "mistakes" you made, rather than pretending everything went to plan. I feel that I learn more by watching others detail their mistakes. Thank you 👍🏻🇦🇺

Its much easier to paint white, then mask it with 1 or 2 mm tape, and paint other colors, than using decals.

Outstanding workmanship !

That’s a great build mate! I really like the way you used the putty to add more texture.

Appreciate it!

Enjoyable video . (As constructive criticism, I must say the volume is far too low. The moment an ad kicks in, the viewer gets deafened.)

Thanks, that's super helpful!

I failed to put those long thin decals along the hull, especially on curved bow surface

@gdjung below had a great idea, paint the sub white and mask out those horrid long thin lines rather than battling with decals. I might try that next time.

You also forgot to sand down the bits of sprue gate left after using the Knife

Yeah, I'd like to think my skills are a bit further along now :)

Hi! Nice build! I would like to build this ship too, but in 1/700 scale. Do you recomend flat black for this scale, rather than tire black too?

Thanks! Definitely go for flat / matte black instead of tire black.

I definitely made this more complicated than it needs to be. Submarines are great kits to do quickly and easily.

Sometimes submarines are super clean looking, but after a patrol they can look pretty bad. There's no especially correct detailing required paint-wise as everything topside occasionally looks faded or rusty. Both American and Russian submarines return from sea with missing or flappy looking rubber tiles also.
