For anyone passionate about military history and model building, tackling the BPK pr.1155 “Vitse-admiral Kulakov” model is like diving into a fascinating chapter of naval warfare. The 1:350 scale by Trumpeter gives you a hands-on way to explore this majestic vessel’s story, right from your workbench. Dmitriy’s creation here is a testament to how satisfying and immersive this hobby can be.
Looking at the photos of this model, the first thing that caught my eye was the cleanliness and precision of the build. Every line and form is sharply defined, and the absence of over-the-top weathering lets the design of the ship speak for itself. It feels almost as if the real vessel was miniaturized and set on display, fresh out of the shipyard.
A bit about the real “Vitse-admiral Kulakov”: it’s a Russian Udaloy-class destroyer, designed during the Cold War era. With a focus on anti-submarine warfare, these ships have an intriguing role—protecting Russia’s interests beneath the waves. Notably, the Kulakov was briefly decommissioned and later reactivated, showing the adaptability and lasting design of this class.
Creating this model is like piecing together a small slice of naval history, allowing you to appreciate the complexity and skill behind these maritime giants. Building this model not only gives you a model but a deeper appreciation for the story behind the steel.
