Default 1/200 Sovremenny Class RTR Upgrade and Modifications

Hi Guys,

Just want to share a recent project of mine...

Out of impluse i bought this 1/200 RTR RC Russian Sovremenny Class Ship from Matotoys.com
I thought it had potential, after a few researches in the net (picture gathering), I found out that
Trumpeter has a similar scale model and White ensign PE parts available to go with it
which is quite costly for me as static display[:'(]. The challenge is how to improve the looks of it and still retain
the RC functions.

This is the results..

The front & middle superstructures can be removed for the battery & on/off switch.
These are held by magnets in place. The KA helicopter is also attached by micro
magnets to the steel netting on the helipad.

Future plans is to include movable turrets & rotating radar plus a smoke unit.

Hope you like the pics guys, It is fun building this thing Love every minute of it!

NOW GOTTA GO TO THE NEAREST WATER HOLE.....
