Snafusmith already made it.

Ah cool... somehow I missed that... it's even installed on my hard drive.

Any chance that you're working on a Seawolf/Virginia class submarine Refar?

Unfortunately not anytime soon - i will add it to my list, however the list is already too long to be handeled i a near future. To make things worse i was not very productive over the past few weeks due to RL. Sorry for now.

NICE model! You plan on doing any more Russian subs?
Anyone else love it when official names and code-names get confused? Like how the sub that NATO calls "Typhoon" is called "Akula" by the Russians, which is a completely different sub than this one?

And I have to agree with GeoModder, the new British carriers are much sexier.

I hate those NATO guys, who feel they need to rename all our stuff

However in this case those the soviets them self are to blame, i think. The huge missile carrier sub developed as Project 941 Akula was widely known as Typhoon in russian as well.

The Akula here is the "other" Akula - the Hunter sub. The first Boat of the Project 971 series actually was Called "Akula" - i think its where the NAto guys got the designation from. I think by now the Nato designation Akula is actually applied to more than one Class of Soviet Subs, from which the one with this 'Blimp'-like Sonar thing - which was the first run of them - is the most recognizeable.

To be fair, you guys weren't all that forthcoming with the names.

NATO: So, what do you call this?
Russia: It's a secret.
NATO: Oh, bollocks. Looks like we'll have to call it 'Tim.'

Of course, your four different methods of designation (design name, industry name, GRAU index and service designation) just helped to confuse the matter.

Not to hurry you, but I'm starting to have an astute need of...
