Hello to all paper modelers !!!
Looking for a little break from the building of Imperator Nikolai battleship, I took back a kit I bought a long time ago and still not touched.
The model is of the little russian river gunboat BK-2 from a Betexa 1:35 paper kit.
The target was to built a reasonable model of this guboat, to gift a friends who loves a lot russian traditions, history and army.
The "mission impossible" as to build such model in a couple of days (during last week) because last saturday was his birthday...
Well.. I think that the mission has been done with a good success.
Looking at the whole model in the kit, were missed the removable canopy and the lifeline on top of armoured casamate.
I made a mistake in position the propeller perhaps too close to rudder and giving a wrong curvature on the stern (unfortunately Betexa instructions and diagrams were not too much clear for this area...)
From the "good side", instead, i tried to give a rusty and weathered appearance to the mode.. I hope that you'll like.
My friend was really happy and amazed to have such little gift that now is in a place of honour in the middle of home bookshelf !!!
Here few pics of this little model, just before to put the russian flag on the jack flagpole, in the stern.
Have a nice days and happy modeling !!!
Write you soon for Imperator Nikolai update and a couple of other projects.
