Product Description

Build a historically significant warship with this premium 1:200 scale card model kit of the Armoured Ship Peter the Great from Orel Publishing (079). This detailed kit recreates one of the most powerful warships of its era—constructed in St. Petersburg, launched in 1872, and commissioned in 1877. Throughout its long service life, Peter the Great evolved from a monitor to an armoured ship, later a squadron battleship, and finally a training artillery vessel.

The ship took part in World War I, the Russian Civil War, and supported submarine base operations. Despite its harsh service conditions—including navigating heavy ice during the 1918 evacuation from Revel to Helsingfors—the ship remained a formidable naval platform until its decommissioning.

This Orel Publishing kit includes 12 A3 sheets featuring double-sided printing, high structural accuracy, and impressive detailing. Bronze-printed elements such as screws and metal fittings enhance realism. The clear English-language instructions make this kit suitable for both intermediate and advanced modelers who appreciate historically rich naval subjects.
