Just finished my oil-fired, funnels folded out, K-15 submersible steamer. This is my first go at a Mikromir kit: not unlike the Airfix kits of old so there's a bit of trimming, filing and filling in required. The twin screws are part of the PE sheet (I'd prefer a moulded part here) so had to be twisted to the approximate pitch. I did both screws right-handed so I hope that is correct. I've modelled the boat with the dive planes extended as though the skipper is contemplating diving.
