Nice to see more submarine models on Scalemates.
A fun little tweak with such kits imo is to scrape the plastic propeller thinner, but results might vary and might ofc snap off if you aren't careful. I often just scrape the propeller thinner, instead of using the often included photo etched propellers (too thin anyway).

I've been wanting to try out a new method of applying a gloss coat, being busy with other things atm. Want to try out a mix of Tamiya gloss coat + MrHobby leveling thinner. I really liked using Humrol Clear liquid, but I end up with cracks and I don't quite know why so I want to try out other gloss coats. I guess I could try use Vallejo gloss coat (two versions afaik) as well.

Neulig, it's remarkably different shape then the akula, far longer and slimmer. Thanks

Tree hugger, yes I like when they give you PE props. The Borei had that but it's hidden by the shroud on that one
