The smaller resin parts are attached to more traditional casting runners. The AK-176 gun assembly is comprised of the turret, base and gun mount. What is unique is that a turned brass barrel is imbedded into the resin mount, which saves a step. The other resin parts include the base ring for the AK-176 turret, the AK-630 guns and base rings, the missile housings and doors, the CODAG doors, the bridge roof and large radome, smaller radomes and sensors, mast parts, anchor, life raft cannisters, rudders, propellers and other fittings. The parts are well cast with little bits of resin film that will need to be removed.
The kit comes with turned brass parts, the largest of which are the one-piece propeller shafts and fairings which are quite lovely. The barrels for the AK-630 guns and fitting that sits on the superstructure roof (I honestly don’t know what it is but it looks good) are also included in the bag.
