Product Description

Build two legendary WWII Soviet naval vessels with the Orel Publishing 099 Card Model Kit, featuring the Mina (BTSCH “Myna”) minesweeper and the MO-4 sea hunter, both rendered in precise 1:200 scale.
This premium-quality card model set includes 12 A4 sheets filled with finely detailed parts, offering an engaging and historically rich building experience for skilled modelers.

The Mina minesweeper represents the main pre-war “Fugas” class BTSCH, known for its crucial role throughout the Great Patriotic War—laying defensive minefields, escorting transports, delivering troops, and defending major cities such as Odessa, Sevastopol, and Novorossiysk. Awarded the Order of the Battle Red Banner in 1944, it stands as one of the most honored ships of the Black Sea Fleet.

The agile and formidable MO-4 sea hunter was designed for anti-submarine operations in coastal waters. With its low draft, compact form and powerful dual 1,300 hp engines, it reached speeds up to 25 knots while carrying guns, DShK machine guns, depth charges, and acoustic detection equipment. Among them, the SK-065 boat famously received the title of “Guards”, the only rank-4 ship in fleet history to do so.

This kit delivers high detail, intricate components, and historically accurate design, making it a rewarding project for experienced builders who appreciate naval history and precision modeling.
