I have seen new versions of the AK-176 gun mount on some newly-drawn ships, but I cannot find it on any parts sheet. Also some other weapons like modern Russian torpedo tubes, which I have seen on some drawings but not on the Russian parts sheet. Will these parts appear on the new Russian parts sheet?

Hopefully one day Gollevainen will have enough time to finally compile full and up-to-date Russian Parts Sheet, but until then, You just need to ask for the needed parts on a case-by-case basis, and He will either send You new parts, or tell You to use the ones from the Sheet (if they're still correct, or nothing more new is done).

I hope that the new Russian parts sheet is made as comprehensive as the US and British parts sheets, with seperate sheets for weapons and radars.

Im about 9/10 of done for my current drawing project (carriers), and after short hiatus for regaining my artisitical temper, I propably next complete the partsheets as well...So hopefully end of this year...hopefully

Has the UKSK vertical launch system, the shipboard launcher for the BrahMos and Club missiles been drawn?

Here, pretend its christmass


The layout aint the most prettiest, but I think it serves the purpose.
Note: the A-192 mount is bit optional at this point. When they manage to actually install it onboard Gorshkov, Ill return to the matter.

Next weekend I try to get some missiles done as well.

Merry Christmas!

I'm a bit curious: was the SPN-500/Yakor-2M director cupola based of the German LS-6 director cupola(I presume the LS-6 would've been looted of a captured ship if that was the case), or are their similarities just a coincidense?

You are rigth there, it is indeed based on the german similar mount, as were the idea of the stabilised AA mounts SM-2 and SM-5, which were modelled around same basics as the german 105mm and 88mm stabilised AA mounts.

Awesome!
But one nit-pick - original drawing of Wróbel (23mm AA) is not my creation, but WhyMe's.

WOO HOO It's Christmas!

Nice work and nice to see this after so long waiting!
