In preparation for making my Kilo model I am looking for good pictures and drawings with details of the small bit which I can do to make my model stand out.

Now I've done a search of the net and got some good stuff but if someone has anything unusual then please let me know.

cheers.

Have you seen the movie 72 Meters? The whole movie has a kilo in it.

I did on tape, my 3 year old destroyed it.

I should have asked my mother in law to bring it over.

Cheers for all the help anyway.

Even American boats get to be that ugly below the waterline after a while. But as for the screw it looks like a pump jet on there. :hmmm:

The trick is telling a 636 kilo and an 877 kilo apart.

I know that on one of the variants the turtle deck blends into the main hull, the Alrosa there is listed as an 877 but I have also seen it written that the 636 has the non blended turtle deck. I'm wanting to know so that when my kit arrives I can make it correctly.

Morning folks! sorry i havnt been on xabba been away driving to your neck of the woods in glasgow, im back now how long for i dont know.

Alrosa is the only one of a kind kilo has a water jet as you can see at its back end, its a 877 kilo.

It depends what your looking for really is it just the hull or the decals the back end you could turn it into a chinese yuan :D (please dont its a monstrosity), but to be honest 636's are pretty identicle and so are the 877's numbers and awards on the hull differ so do decals, i have a few pictures most of the ones i have are now on places like google and that.

877 is the older veriant has non blended turtle deck while the 636 improved kilo has the blended turtle deck and thats the reason why they are called improved and given a diffrent project number, plus some of the systems in the 636 are more upto date than in the 877 and the 636 has more life expectancy out of its batteries too.

OK the Trumpeter is the 636 version. Do the Russians actually have any of those? I know it is an updated Kilo but information on the net is confusing.

Christ, a pump jet on a Kilo? That's like silencing a silenced pistol :haha:

Damn that Alrosa must be one quiet sneaky bugger :yeah:

I do believe about 4 636's remain in active service as its near 1am i shall look tommorrow but i know alot of the 636's exported were ex russian service and that theres only 24 in some sort of service (about 13 are in mothball).

@Kaptian could you post a picture showing the visual diffrences in the 636 and 877 classes? I might have to go and update my LWAMI kilo models.

@Xabba, here are my best Kilo images, most can be found on Google, but are few are hard to finds...

Ouch, Husky in the dog house, eh?

I wonder, on a design POV, whether it would be worth refitting the Kilos with pump jets or whether that would screw up their shallow water strength.
Come to think of it, I wonder if they'll put one on the other Ladas or stick one on the back of St Petersburg... :hmmm:

Damn, I've been out of the loop on modern boats for too long. :damn:

I've got his one with the Typhoon, Akula and Alfa (Guardians of the Motherland) and it's definately worth it. :yeah:

As far as I know no other Kilos will get pumpjets unless some export customer wants them. Algeria (a replacement sub), Vietnam and Venzuela are buying some soon so we shall see.

What is the plot to 72 meters?

Submarine goes to play wargames.

Submarine wins, the hits an old WWII mine.

Sub sinks, sailors drown, kit doesn't work, dilema how goes.

They send the civilian engineer who was on board as he didn't volunteer for subs.

He lives the rest die.

The end.

Also some personal relationship stuff too.
