Product Description

Build an exceptional replica of the historic Russian squadron battleship Imperator Nikolai I with this premium 1:200 scale card model kit from Orel Publishing (093). Designed for advanced and experienced modelers, this detailed kit recreates one of the most controversial and fascinating ships of the Imperial Russian Navy.

Laid down in 1886 and launched in 1889, Imperator Nikolai I served around the world—from New York’s 400th Anniversary of Columbus celebrations to missions in the Far East and Crete. It famously took part in the Battle of Tsushima, acting as the flagship of the 3rd Pacific Squadron. Despite outdated artillery, the ship delivered some of the most significant hits on Japanese vessels during the battle. After surrender, it entered Japanese service under the name Iki and served as a training artillery ship.

This high-detail 26-sheet A4 kit offers precise drafting, historical accuracy and a rewarding challenge, making it an excellent addition for naval enthusiasts and collectors of pre-dreadnought warships.
