Another addition to my submarines collection.
S-56 is one of the famous Soviet subs. She was built for Soviet Pacific Fleet, but with the beginning of World War 2 S-56 had to move to the European waters. On October 5, 1942 S-56 under captain-lieutenant Schedrin command with her sister-ships S-51 and S-54 began her 16700-miles long voyage through the Pacific, Panama Channel, Atlantic Ocean to the Soviet North Fleet. During 1943-1945 S-56 performed 8 patrols and destroyed 4 enemy ships. After the war, in 1953, S-56 passed to Vladivostok and became first Soviet submarine completed round-the-globe voyage. Nowadays S-56 stays at Vladivostok as a museum ship.
The AMP kit is a short-run, but not to hard to work with. I've added some etched parts and made guns by myself. The kit contains etched parts from Eduard, but unfortunately many of them are too big comparing to the photos and drawings. The model is painted with ModelMaster enamels and some oil weathering.
