Hello! Welcome to my first build on this channel. I am still a beginner and have a lot to learn, so please leave feedback in the comments.
The kit is by HobbyBoss, but I added a flag and used a windshield from a Zvezda Kit.
The whole process required one month to finish. And special thanks to Scale A Ton who inspired me with his ocean base technique.
I wanted to build the Kursk because it was an interesting and fascinating submarine whose story ended tragically.
At first, I bought the Kursk kit from Zvezda , but I found out in the building process that the Zvezda Kursk is surprisingly not even close to the original. There are many parts that are very different from the original, so I decided to buy the HobbyBoss kit, which is much better done in terms of details.
First, I assembled the kit and left three rocket silos slightly open on one side, which is supposed to give the impression that the Kursk is closing its hatches. The rudders should be extended even though the uboat is on the surface, so it looks like the Kursk is getting ready to dive.
After that I painted the Kursk with the color "Tire Black" from Mr.Color, because this black is the most similar to the black of uboats. This was followed by the decals and painting of details. For this I used colors from @vallejocolors. The windows on the tower were terrible to paint, but I find them extremely important, as they give the russian submarines a creepy look.
I also used a windscreen from the zvezda-kit and made a flag. The weathering effects were made with Black Wash and Rust Effects from @ammomig .
Then came the ocean base, which I molded with aluminum foil and heavy gel medium gloss and painted several times with @tamiya_inc_jp Sea Blue, Clear Blue and Clear. The foam effects were created with cotton and brush. After the last details and 1 1/2 months, the diorama was finished.
