![]() Hull markings seem almost constant, there are two surface waterline marks (full and empty of missles?) The apperance and the hull appendages changed during refits and such. The sonar windows are often a different color, light grey is seen most often. Though inbetween these times it was painted all black during routine maintance. It makes a very impressive and characteristic wake on the suface when running underwater due to its size, very easy to spot! All Typhoons were painted black with red antifoul below the midline when built and after major refits. I ran a Engel Typhoon once, the original version. Also, if anyone has any tips feel free to post them here, I will do the same. I have some time to go before it is ready for paint but I would like to have a few ideas, if possible. Specifically, I am looking for color schemes (ok, BLACK, I know but there has to be some variances) hull markings, coats of arms, etc. It seems that there is an aura of great mystery surrounding Russian submarines. My question is, does anyone know of any sites, books etc, where I can get some scale documentation. I have built a few Engels, which can be seen in my gallery, and I believe this one will be my favorite. It is very simple to set up, compared to systems of old. ![]() (Master Scale series)I am just as impressed with the TMAX system of diving. Engel has done their homework and added all the panel lines, markings, etc and made the sub very scale. I must tell you, after seeing this behemoth I am very impressed. FYI: Recently, I started building an Engel Typhoon Submarine.
