"Kirov reporting!"
"Warning! Enemy air armada detected!"
- Zofia warning the commander of incoming Yuri's Kirovs.

The Kirov airship is a Soviet anti-surface bomber zeppelin in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge. These huge Soviet zeppelins are a true force to contend with in the air. Able to withstand tremendous amounts of damage, a Kirov attacks with massive payloads of heavy bombs, even tactical nuclear bombs. These can devastate an area. Slow speed is the main weakness of this unit.

This time, I made the product of ResinScales (GK / 3D-Printed) kit as materiel, modified the front bridge section of the model with 1/350 scaled 90cm searchlight sets and watertight doors with photoetch, added some decals, and placed a magnetic switch light in yellow to fill in the details. And then, the whole ship was sprayed with TAMIYA LP-62 Titanium Gold mixed with 30% of LP-73 Khaki and LP-75 Buff lacquer paint colors. And partially prepped with some darker gunmetal or dark iron as a secondary shading color. And the bottom hull of the ship, the tail assemblies, and the engines was painted with LP-13 IJN gray. Finally, adding more shading colors. The finished result is just like the photos.
