Kishinev Type Cargo Ships

We continue to add more scale model ship plans to our cargo fleet. Kishinev class coasters are 43 sister ships built between 1968 – 1977 in Navashino, Nizhny Novgorod Soviet Union. The ship seen in the photo was launched as ANDREY KIZHEVATOV in 1973 then renamed several times. Unfortunately she is scrapped. Hope you can bring her alive…
The plans are actually prepeared to build paper models, but with a little effort you can convert it into any method that you wish. They are not so precise either but the vessel is not a luxury wooden yacht with full of details, so you don’t need so much details. A rubber powered propeller is added, but this just seems so ugly, you can ignore it. The deck equipment are so clear so there is no need to explain each one shown with numbers.
This class of ships were built to carry dry cargo between Blacksea ports and Mediterranean. Length: 123.5m Width: 15m . Some of them are still active.
