Zvezda 9014 Russian Cruiser Varyag Kit

I am using this as a supplement and guide to the immensely intimidating Artworks variant, which uses resin and brass for nearly everything and is immensely intricate. So intricate that I cannot not build it without the extra parts and instructions from this kit. This kit has directions, which really help, and the level of detail is surprising. There are many components here which are comparable to the detail of the more exotic product. Some are better. All are much better than those typical of other ship models. A model built straight from this kit will have the potential to look absolutely fantastic. Kudos to Zvezda for issuing a WWI ship. With it's narrow beam, four stacks, intricate structures, and "ram" style bow (There was a time when planners envisioned ramming the opponents ships!), this model offers a fascinating and superbly executed introduction into the early days of steam and steel.

great

i've built a ton of models, and maybe its just me, or the way mine came, but i had issues getting the hull on this to fit together... after countless attempts, i gave up on it.

Bad thing-Made in the USSR

ok

Was what my husband was wanting

Arrived Ok and nicely packaged, only the service via the post-office in the UK was a shambles.

Dreadnought di pura scuola, modello bello davvero

THIS IS THE CLASS OF BATTLESHIP WHICH SAT ON THE RIVER , IN THE HEART OF THE RUSSIAN CAPITAL AND FIRED ITS GUNS TO SIGNAL THE START OF THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION. HET DETAIL IS AMAZING. EVERYTHING THAT SHOULD BE THERE, IS THERE. SOME OF THE PARTS ARE QUITE SMALL BUT ACHIEVABLE WITH PATIENCE AND THAT NEED FOR THE EXACT. THE HULL IS AMAZING DETAIL AND WELL FORMED. THE OVERALL APPEARENCE OF THIS BATTLE CRUISER THE ZVEZDA. WHEN FINNISHED IS CLASSIC ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION OF SHIPS AT WAR. IT IS A SHAME THAT SO MANY NODEL MAKERS WHO PRODUCE SHIPS AND LINERS ARE SO OBSESSED WITH MAKING THEM SMALL. BUILD THEM BIGGER FOR GOODNESS SAKE, THEY WILL NOT BITE.
