This
model was originally produced by the now disappeared Ukrainian firm of ICM, who
give the molds to the Eastern Express firm, who at last put the model for sale
under the Zvezda (Star) firm.
The
model in various passages don’t ameliorate and, good in general shape, is
under the now accepted standard of quality.
To
make an acceptable model of the Russian Battleship Kniaz (Prince) Suvorov
is necessary to buy the photo-etch parts from White Ensign Models
and Gold Medal Models and the turned brass barrels for 305mm. and 152mm
from BMK German firm.
I
make another economical sacrifice getting a Zvezda model of the Russian
Protected Cruiser Varyag for the anchors, the boats, the small calibre guns and
other small details.
The
boat booms winches, the anti torpedo nets, the signal lights and the boat’s
oars are scratch built.
The
sailors belong to the French L'Arsenal and for painting I have used the
very good Italian acrylic colours “Lifecolor”.
I
represented the ship few days before the battle of
Tsushima, when she was extremely weathered.
After
more than 16.000 nautical miles the ship was described by contemporary sources
completely covered by rust, salt deposit and coal dust.
The
sea is painted with medium quality acrylic colour in tube.
