"Peresvet" – Tte Russian escadre battleship (2nd edition)

"Peresvet" was the lead ship in a series of three slightly different battleships (the other ships in the series were "Oslyabya" and "Pobeda"), built at the turn of the 20th century in Russian Baltic shipyards and intended mainly for ocean operations. All three ships were sunk during the Russo-Japanese War, two of which - "Peresvet" itself and "Pobeda" - were raised by the Japanese and included in their navy. "Peresvet" was renamed "Sagami" by the Japanese. Later, during the First World War, "Peresvet" was rebought by Russia and accepted into its navy as an armored cruiser. The hull and mechanisms were repaired in Vladivostok. On January 4, 1917, while sailing from Port Said with an English convoy to the Kola Bay, she ran into a mine in the Mediterranean Sea, the barrier of which was laid by the German submarine "U-73" and exploded. From the detonation of ammunition, she exploded again, capsized and sank.

A medium-size and very complex model of a medium-size armored ship, intended only for medium-experienced and experienced modelers. The model is well designed and richly detailed. There is a fairly large reserve of colors and textures, textual instructions in Ukrainian, Polish, English and German - large, covering the entire process of gluing the model and perfectly complementing the not too large, not very detailed, informative, but difficult to read and quite chaotically arranged graphical instruction. There are quite a few details, printed with copper and bronze-colored "Metallic" type paints. And in this model they are printed very qualitatively. Also, the deck "boards" are very beautifully textured and realistic, unlike the first edition.
