Shipbucket

well honestly, the rage inside me from the afromentioned BS fueled me to do this what I had planned for rather long now.
when I know excat details of the rumored modernisations, I will naturally update her once again.
But like I said in before, the color shceme I'm using is the best that MS Paint can correspond to the color.
Once I get enough free time, I could try to improve it even better looking the dark green that the current Russian ships are actually painted for.

Either way, these are really good. The addition of the underwater hull gives them a lot more "mass" than they had before. Definitely frightening surface combatants.

A vast improvement on the old Kirov on the bucket in every way (it now looks attractive as well as mighty). I never realised that the underwater section of hull was so bumpy and lumpy. Those fins or whatever they are must create some drag but perhaps they were neccessary to counterbalance the topweight?

Unusual stern sonar too, wouldn't a sonar be useless in that positions above the screws?

Artistically this is shipbucket at its finest.

Those "fins" are the cooling water inlets for the reactor. Most russian modern nuclear subs also have them.
