beautiful, terrifying to see all those tubes open😉

Slavo Hazucha
Great looking boomer, the open SS-N-20 tubes look very nicely detailed & you got the rubber coating surface finish really realistic 👍

Treehugger
I like it.

Martin LC
Great work ! the weathering is awesome !

Patrick Hagelstein
😮............

Wow!!!

Sven Schönyan
Wow - impressive work! Concerning modern submarines a Typhoon is very detailed but you managed bring even more life out of the rather "simple" kit.

art81
Very nice work!

Treehugger
Probably way more fun to build than the Mikro Mir one.

James C
That's an amazing looking Typhoon. Really well done 👍

Danumurthi Mahendra
Thank you all! Just woke up. LoL. This is my first submarine kit project, ever! I really enjoyed working on it. There were many photo references. The hardest challenge was painting and the nuances of the weathering effects of the black surface.

Clifford Keesler
Very well done,

Danumurthi Mahendra
Thanks. There were a few mods that I did on the model. Notably, vigorously sanding down the rubber surface blocks, as the ones from the kit were too boxy; rescribing all the panel lines to match the top and bottom hull; masked and paint all the horizontal white waterline marks; add internal flooring in the ballistic missile hatch.

Jos Jansen
Nice....!

Bart Goesaert
fantastic work on this one...

Danumurthi Mahendra
Thanks @Jos and @Bart!

Danumurthi Mahendra
If anyone is interested, I've saved the work-in-progress images here flic.kr/s/aHsmLMrkrS

Bart Goesaert
Thx a lot for these. For when I get around on this one. What are the kind of nets you use on the pics showing the painting of the bottom hull?

Danumurthi Mahendra
Hi @Bart - That is the ArtoolFX mini by Gerald Mendez. It is an airbrush template to help people make organic, fluid and random paint effects. They come in a set of 3 and are made of coated cardboard. I have been using this tool ever since to create randomized weathering effects.

Patrick Hagelstein
Really amazing! 👍 And again: 😮.....

Danumurthi Mahendra
Thank you, @Patrick!

Sylvain Vernier
The paint work on each tile is stunning, and the wheathering effects... wow 👀

Alexander
Great build of a very impressive subject! 👍

Rui S
Great work all-round 👍

Ricardo Reis
Beautiful work! 👍

Gerald
👍

Skyhiker
Impressive

Danumurthi Mahendra
Thanks, mates! @Sylvain i made several masking templates using photo-copy paper with random holes the size of the tiles. Then I just spray different shades over them

Villiers de Vos
A phenomenal finish. a real head turner.

Michael Kohl
I can only agree. Very convincing and realistic finish. Quite an achievement with such a big monochrome area.

Guy Rump
Very impressive. 👍

Danumurthi Mahendra
Thank you @Villiers de Vos and @Guy Rump. Yes @Michael Kohl, the hardest part was how to make the boring monochrome area into something interesting.

Alec K
You certainly seceded. Looks awesome 👍

Spanjaard
Good idea with those templates 👍

ForestFan
Very impressive

Danumurthi Mahendra
Thanks@Alec, @Spanjaard and @ForestFan. Happy New Year to all!

Danumurthi Mahendra
I made a short video clip on how I addressed the issues for those interested Youtube Video

Treehugger
Looks really nice compared to the old Mikro-Mir kit, which has the launcher tubes hidden with closed panels. The tiling also looks very interesting.
I guess I am surprised by how nicely the launcher tube doors look, not knowing how accurate the detailing is.
Edit: Oh, wait, the Mikro-Mir kit also came out in 2014 apparently.

Treehugger
How are the tiles with their panel lines still visible after you added putty over it?

Jan Peters
I have somehow missed this before, very nice details and beautiful painting and weathering!
Does the option for the open tubes come with the kit, or have you added that by yourself?

Michael Kohl
A video 100% to my liking. Condensed no-nonsense information straight to the point. Well done - like your boat.

Alec K
Great video indeed 👍

Danumurthi Mahendra
Hi @Treehugger - Good to know about the Mikro-Mir! one the panels: I think because the liquid putty (surfacer) shrinks when it dries and they get lost a lot during the sanding process. that's how the panels are still visible after all that putty and sanding.

Danumurthi Mahendra
HI @Jan Peters - yes, the kit provided the tube hatches as separate parts. I think it was easier to install the hatches in an open position rather than trying to close the hatches and keep them aligned nicely. LOL.

Danumurthi Mahendra
Thank you @Michael Kohl and @Alec K!

Clifford Keesler
Great looking Sub, a very nice job indeed.

CaptGPF
Simply stunning build! The video was a great summary and I can see where your armor skills like filtering added an extra dimension to the Typhoon. You made Captain Ramius proud!

Bernd Grün
Great build! 👌 Love that Navy Seakings in that white livery.

Harald Besold
A very nice model. Very well done! 👍

Kendrick Brown
Love your navy stock! Looks very similar to my upcoming lineup!

gorby
Very nice!

gorby
Fantastic work so far!

Guy Rump
Very nice build. 👍

Jean-Daniel Aebischer
Thanks

gorby
Nice result!

gorby
Nice work.

gorby
Ooooh! I'd like to follow this. I've built one in 1/72, this must be huge.

Andreas Koziol
Ein Meisterstück! Perfect in details & painting! 👍

Spanjaard
excellent, as all your builds 🙂

Murad ÖZER
lovely scene. 🙂

HMR
Really great job and nice pictures. Photo 12 looks amazing!

Holger Kranich
Absolute nice scene! Well done! 👍 But what happened to the rotorhead? Got too hot in the desert?😉

Jean-Michel Tilquin
Wow very fine!

Neuling
Gentlemen, thank you for your interest in my diorama and your appreciation! Holger, I built this one in 1999, so I don´t remember the whereabout of the rotorhead and the temperatures. I was naive and trusted in the brand name of the kit manufacturer MRC (Model Rectifier Corporation). Help me: Where should the rotorhead be placed and how does it look like?

Holger Kranich
Moin! Gerade auf Bild 19 fällt die Ausrichtung des gesamten Rotors auf. Der müßte eigentlich kerzengerade sein und nicht nach vorn und hinten runterhängen. Daher mein Spaß mit der Hitze.😉

Neuling
Vielen Dank, Holger. Die Bauanleitung schrieb vor, die Rotoren in "a drooping way" zu montieren. Referenzbilder hatte ich damals nicht, im Netz war ich noch nicht unterwegs, so daß ich des Guten zuviel getan habe. Deine Bilder zeigen ein deutlich geringeres "Durchhängen" der Rotorblätter. Da gehe ich nochmals ran ans Modell! Ein Bauteil habe ich aber nicht verschlampt, oder?

Daniel Klink
Again wonderful stuff you show here! Really amazing detailwork 👍

Holger Kranich
Nein "Neuling, alles Bestens! Ist ein klasse Dio! 👍 👍 🙂

Andreas Koziol
@neuling hast du das damals geairbrusht oder nur mit dem pinsel gearbeitet?

Neuling
Danke Daniel und Holger! Andreas, ich verwende bei den Fahrzeugen und Flugzeugen Tamiya-Farbspraydosen und arbeite dann mit Pinsel und Tupfer noch etwas nach.

Andy W.
Kann mich nur anschließen. Schöne modelle und ein klasse Diorama

Saeed Ezadi
Nice Cobra Neuling. Always pleasure to see Cobra's specially with desrt scheme

Michael Hickey
What an awesome dio, so much for the eye to look at.👍

Neuling
Andy, Saeed and Michael, thank you for your interest in my diorama and your appreciation!

Zsolt Czegle
Klasse Arbeit! 👍

Neuling
Danke Zsolt.

Stuart Perry
Love it

Neuling
Thank you Stuart.

Neuling
Not a new build, just better pictures with my new camera. - And I readjusted the rotor blades according to Holgers proposal.

David Taylor
Brill.

Jean-Michel Tilquin
Maybe not a new build, but still eye-catching. Looks like your new camera is working fine, Neuling!

Jan Peters
Great job all'round Neuling 👍🏻

Hanno Kleinecke
The fact that this build is already over 20 years old, makes the very high skill level even more obvious !
Another super dense atmospheric dio off the bench of Neuling- Works 👍

gorby
That looks great Neuling.
Amazing to think you've been producing such excellent quality for so long.

Dietmar Bogatzki
Another Masterpiece of Neuling 👍 👍

John
Very cool! I have the MRC AH-1W kit in the stash. Tempted to start it now, but for certain I will pay attention to the rotor head placement!

Mathias Decommere
Wauw! This one is amazing! I love the activity, composition and subject in this one. And the paintjob is offcourse superb. I always enjoy your work Neuling!

Neuling
Thanks a lot mates! Much appreciated! - Jean-Michel, my old Panasonic was good, but my new Sony is better indeed (and admittedly I´ve learned about diorama photography here on scalemates). - John, the rotor head of the kit is okay, the drooping rotors were my own mistake.

Jv
I showed one of my friends some pics of one of your builds
He said wtf I thought it was real
You always surprise whed your level of detail

Thomas K.
Schaut wie immer super aus 👍

Christian Bruer
Excellent work and finish 👍

Neuling
Thank you, Jv ! Danke Thomas und Christian !

Kyle DeHart
Just seeing this. Incredible work and photos as always.

Olivier
The system needed 1 days to bring this 'new' wonder to my attention. I am happy I can enjoy it now.

Neuling
Thank you Kyle! Merci Olivier!

Pietro De Angelis
Wow!

Tommy Agne
Top 👍!

Neuling
Thank you, Pietro and Tommy!

Mr James
Not only are your builds stunning. Its your photography that sets you apart . Your use of lighting, shadows and the realistic POV angels is an enviable talent.

Neuling
Thank you Mr James, also for the many kind likes!

Shar Dipree
Hi Neuling. Another WOW from me. Great idea, something completely different. great implemented.

Neuling
Thanks a lot Shar Dipree!

Paul Eden
Excellent work, full size chopper + truck + jeep is epic.
