helg Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Can anyone please point me to a good set of drawings of this ship. Also is there a kit of it in 1/350 scale. Thanks. Do you mean that 110 years old Pallada-class protected cruiser http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_cruiser_Aurora? If so, take a look at theese scans (in Russian, Modelist-Constructor magazine): http://mk-archive.narod.ru/mk77/mk7706/mk770607.htm http://mk-archive.narod.ru/mk77/mk7706/mk7706v2.htm http://mk-archive.narod.ru/mk77/mk7707/mk770716.htm Scans are really bad, but I have a full set of this magazine from 1968, and I could scan it for you next week with better resolution. Also, I have a couple of other books, and I can scan them too. But most of drawings of "Aurora" are as of 1917 (14*6" cannons), so if you want to get info as of Russian-Japaneese war period (8*6" cannons), you should go to the Russian Naval Archive, or to the Russian State Naval Museum. The kit for "Aurora" was made in the Soviet Union 20-30 years ago, and I have no idea on how to get it.

Ley Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 The article in the magazine looks like just what I need, thanks. I was in St Petersburg in June and visited the ship but could not find any decent drawings. I have the kit but I think it needs some improvement. You can contact me on [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helg Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 The article in the magazine looks like just what I need, thanks. ok I was in St Petersburg in June and visited the ship but could not find any decent drawings. You are always welcome. Have you visited Dekabrist-class D-3 "Narodovolets" submarine? Have you visited "Krasin" icebreaker? Theese ships are very interesting attractions, too. I have the kit but I think it needs some improvement. Could you please give me a link to the site of the kit's manufacturer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ley Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 I only had one day free so it was the Aurora and the railway museum at Warsaw Station. The kit was originally released by Heller and sometime later re-released by Maquette. I think it is 1/400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
