Russian Naval Museum in St. Petersburg


Recommended Posts

Heavy aircraft carrier KIEV

 

Model 2.

 

This model is represented in the aircraft carrier escort combat group, so it was not possible to photograph it very closely. But I liked the quality of this model much more.

There is also a giant MILITARY HISTORY MUSEUM OF ARTILLERY, ENGINEERING TROOPS AND COMMUNICATIONS TROOPS in St. Petersburg. But I will not report this in the armor section on this site. Otherwise I will die with a camera in my hands. :)

Oh my, 700,000 objects - I guess it's out of the question to photo them all then..! Any chance they have some of any of the Kirov/Adm Ushakov or Typhoon/Akula (the SSBN 941, not the SSN) classes? If you can find the Kolchida/Tamara, I'd be eternally grateful and more than happy to return the favour of anything that catches the eye in the National Maritime Museum.

Kolchida/Tamara I didn't find in the museum.

There is a AKULA (Shark)/TYPHOON.

There is KIROV (demonstrated as PETER THE GREAT).

Heavy strategic missile submarine (trpkSN) project 941 AKULA.

The largest submarine in the world. The only one built on the principle of a catamaran with two sturdy hulls.

Hi Dmitriy,

 

The Varyag photographs you have posted are amazing - thank you very much indeed!! 

 

Whenever you do find the time to visit again, could I ask if you would mind trying to get a few of any Gangut Class Battleships?  I am interested in the Sevastopol.  I feel cheeky asking but would be grateful for any images - the models are superb quality and really appeal as a source of information, and inspiration!

Knock, knock, open the door, there's a package for you! 🚢

Fantastic! I cannot thank you enough for all these photos. Whilst redoing a Typhoon won't be hard enough (the kit was cheap), to add in all that detail, what I'm most surprised about are the Pyotr Velikiy's deck and hull colours. That'll at least get it away from the hull red and brick red deck. I also think I've seen it anglicised incorrectly, is the 'e' a 'yeh'? Pyetr?

 

I have much to gawp at, thank you again.

It is difficult for me to convey the correct sound when pronouncing Peter in Russian.

There are sites that voice the written text online. Try:

https://voxworker.com/ru

There you need to clear the input window and insert there written in Russian letters Петр Великий.

I wouldn't really trust the colors of this model. In all the photos that I have seen, the color of the deck of these cruisers is a red-brick meerkat. Compared to other models in the museum, this model has a very low level of reliability and a small scale.

Amazingly helpful. I bet you anything I've been pronouncing харошо wrong too. Sounds to me like the e in Peter is 'yo' sound after all - oddly enough.

 

Большое спасибо,

 

David

 

Ps And yes, I can't even say 'okay' properly...

Hi Dmitriy,  

 

Thank you SO much for taking the time and effort to get superb pictures of the Sevastopol!  The detail is excellent and very clear.  This is very helpful - I cannot thank you enough.

 

I am now getting ready to make prints of them all.

HMS AJAX

Built by Vickers Armstrongs Limited

Barrow-in-Furness

Model in scale 1/48

 

Unfortunately, the model of this cruiser is displayed in a dark corridor. Opposite there are windows and one wall lamp, which are reflected in the glass and interfere with photographing. Therefore, I apologize for the poor quality of the photos.

Dear Dmitry,

 

Thank you so much for taking these wonderful photos of this builder's model of Ajax showing her as in 1935 for me. They show perfectly the areas of deck that I was interested in and which could not be seen properly in the photos of this model which I already had.  Although the new Flyhawk model of Ajax depicts her in 1939 after certain changes had been made, your photos will nevertheless be a great assistance to many.

 

(Did you mange to find out WHY this model is in Russia?!)

 

Best wishes,

 

Richard

I am very glad if these photos will be useful to you.

As for getting this model into the USSR, I couldn't find out. There was little time and I did not want to buy the services of a guide. I asked this question to the caretaker of the hall. She said that when they conduct excursions, they say that this is a trophy model. This is incomprehensible to me, since Great Britain and the USSR were not at war with each other at that time.

Try to ask this question to the official mail of the museum:

[email protected]

They answer. But sometimes you have to wait 10-15 days. Ask them to answer in English, otherwise they may send a scan from a paper letter in Russian and it will be difficult for you to translate.

 

Best wishes,

Dmitriy
