Most of us here will have played the epic Red Alert 2 right? Well anyone who has will remember the powerful Kirov Airship from the game and its familiar deep rumble as it flew towards your base.
Check out this first preview of a Kirov Airship from Ratguard Miniatures...
Looking pretty great right?

KIROV REPORTING! I remember that’s how I completed the last Soviet Mission on RA2, built a dozen of these bad boys and just sailed them over the Allies anti-aircraft defences smashing them asunder as I went. That Chronosphere never knew what hit it, it got a swift trip back to the stone age. As a complete Westwood Fanboy, from playing Dune II when I was 6-7 up till the mind controlling fun of Yuri’s Revenge I think the killing of the company is one thing I will never forgive EA Games for, along with their attempts to continue the series… Read more »
You know I just realised I totally forgot to comment on the sodding model such was my rush of nostalgia and flush of repressed anger.
It looks wonderful even at this stage!
Real nice detail on the symbols, 2 thumbs up for the great work.
I…want…a dozen! Ok, ok well maybe I’ll just stick to 3 😀
Bad things:
The airscrews are flat and need replacing/give em a twist if metal
Good Things:
Everything else! 😀
I don’t know if I can even not get this. I may have no choice.
“Hitler, is out of the way”
Off to play hell march 2 on repeat
HELL YES! I want one!
I hated Red Alert 2 ! Never liked games that added a funny part to something serious (…sound odd if you speak of games ^^ ) …not my cup of tea …but this ship looks nice ^^
“VE VILL BURY THEM!!!”
