I have taken an intrest in model building and like the WWI / II era BB's DD's etc and wondered if anyone could tell me what this ship was and possibly goole a link to a pic of it.

Thank You in advance.

Very old kit in this subject. Old press-forms from Soviet Union quality is awful. Twenty two years ago they were good, but today if you'd like to build something from Russian Imperial Navy or Soviet Navy try to search production of Combrig (resin kits) and Zvezda (plastic). You may find a lot of objective kit reviews here: www.steelnavy.com

I've used to build plastic models, but when I've found wooden kits of historic vessels - that blown my mind. Takes much more time but provides a LOT of fun

Currently I am in process of building this one: http://www.jotika-ltd.com/Pages/1024...lson_Front.htm

Best Regards!
