KNIAZ POTEMKIN TAVRICEVSKI – BLACK SEA FLEET BATTLESHIP |
|
Originally laid down under the name of "Kniaz Potemkin Tavricheskiy" in 1898, this battleship was commissioned in 1904, having been named in honour of the celebrated Russian statesman instrumental in creation of the Russian Black Sea Fleet during the reign of Empress Catherine II the Great. She was destined to be the first in a series of new battleships of pre-dreadnought type, fully equal to the best contemporary ships in other navies, with the other two laid down much later. 1/200 SCALE 21 ½” LONG 3-SHEET PLAN TSPGY-32 PRICE: |
