Orange Hobby 1/350 Russian Corvette “Soobrazitelnyy” (Hull No. 531)

The kit comes packaged in a simple brown box with a rather attractive 3D rendering of the ship on the top of its sleeve-like cover.

Building Trumpeter’s 1:35 KV-1 Small Turret

It all started on a bored Sunday afternoon… I was browsing Ebay, looking for bargains out-there. Although, I’m anything but a WWII Russian tanks fanboy, after shortly reading up on the reviews this kit got, I was willing to spent up to 10 EUR on it. Especially, since the same guy was also selling Trumpeter’s  Sturer Emil in 1:35 so I could save on shipping costs and get two kits. Long story short, few days later the friendly postman dropped the package at our door.
