This is my model of the ill-fated Russian battleship Knyaz [Prince] Suvorov, flagship of Admiral Z. P. Rozhdestvensky when he led his fleet into annihilation by Admiral Togo and the Japanese fleet at the Battle of Tsushima in May 27 -28, 1905. Zvezda's kit is inexpensive (about $30 US) but not nearly as well-cast or finely detailed as Hasegawa's battleship Mikasa (Togo's British-built flagship, and a precise contemporary), though I did not find the poor deck-to-hull fit that some earlier modelers have noted. Zvezda's kit is here significantly improved by the addition of Gold Medal Models' brass photoetch set.
