Zvezda 1/200 Kruzenshtern Russian Four-Masted Barque - With Aftermarket PE Detail Set - (Krusenstern / ex German Padua Flying P Liner), 9045 plastic model kit

1/200 9045 Zvezda Kruzenshtern Russian Four-Masted Barque - With Aftermarket PE Detail Set - (Krusenstern / ex German Padua Flying P Liner)

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

Includes a superb and extensive brass PE detail set (two frets) that was made by Microdisign in Russia. It includes two frets and is still factory sealed. The actual model kit is very large scale and highly detailed. It measures about 23 inches long when assembled. It has numerous parts and some of the best plastic billowing sails I have ever seen - they are very thin, have rigging holes and are injection molded. The plastic is just flexible enough that it will not crack and can be rigged under tension. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. From Wikipedia: Kruzenshtern or Krusenstern is a four-masted barque that was built in 1926 at Geestemnde in Bremerhaven, Germany as Padua (named after the Italian city). She was surrendered to the USSR in 1946 as war reparation and renamed after the early 19th century Baltic German explorer in Russian service, Adam Johann Krusenstern (1770-1846). She is now a Russian sail training ship. Of the four remaining Flying P-Liners, the former Padua is the only one still in use, mainly for training purposes, with her home ports in Kaliningrad (formerly Konigsberg) and Murmansk. After Sedov, another former German ship, she is the largest traditional sailing vessel still in operation.
