Product Description

Build a piece of naval history with this highly detailed 1:200 scale card model kit of the Soviet gunboat Krasnoye Znamia (originally “Hrabryj”). Published by Orel (No. 052), this kit offers an excellent, historically accurate representation of the long-serving vessel of the Baltic Fleet.

The kit includes 11 A3 sheets with precisely printed components and English-language instructions. Designed for experienced model builders and maritime history enthusiasts, the model reflects the ship’s 1944 wartime configuration after its major reconstruction and return to service during the Great Patriotic War.

The gunboat “Hrabryj” entered the Baltic Fleet in 1895 and served through multiple conflicts, including World War I, the Moonzund Battle, and the WWII defense of Leningrad. After sinking near Lavensari Island in 1942 due to a Finnish torpedo strike, it was raised, repaired, and recommissioned as Krasnoye Znamia. Its remarkable service life involved major modernizations, rearmament, and continued duty as both a combat and training ship until final decommissioning in 1960.

This card model captures the ship’s authentic structure, deck layout, armament arrangement, and rebuilt superstructure, making it an ideal collector’s project for card model builders, naval history fans, and Baltic Fleet researchers.
