SAAC „Berdiansk“ (Ukraine) and SAAC „Saichun“ (Uzbekistan) – the small armored artillery cutters of projects 58155 and 58150

Small armored artillery cutters of the project 58155 (code "Giurza-M") - a type of small armored artillery cutters, designed at the Mykolaiv Shipbuilding Research - Design Center. Built on the basis of project 58150 ("Giurza") - unlike the prototype, it is much larger, more powerful engines are installed, and the overview is improved. Cutters were accepted into the composition of the Ukrainian Navy at the end of 2015. The cutters form the basis of the "Mosquito fleet" - the development concept of Ukraine's Navy Forces after Russia's occupation of Crimea in 2014. In 2017 plans to use this type of cutters in the Sea of Azov were widely publicized, and from September 2018 part of the cutters were redeployed to the Azov Naval Base. Starting from June 2018, over 70 structural changes have been made to the design of the cutters.

Quite complex, well designed and highly detailed models of small armored artillery cutters, designed for intermediate to advanced modelers. The level of detail is the maximum possible, the models are moderately complex. Working under the supervision of a more experienced colleague, they can also be constructed by modelers with little experience, but it will not be easy. Making these models (as well as others, by the way) should not be rushed and they should not be the first more complex models You make. The publication contains sheets with double-side printing, there is a reserve of colors and textures, excellent graphic instructions, the publication can be used to make two boats: Uzbek Navy Forces 58150 project cutter "Saichun" model and one of the Ukrainian NF 58155 project cutters: "Berdiansk", "Kostopilj", "Vyshgorod", "Lubni", "Kremenchuk", "Nikopolj" or "Akkerman".
