[FREE] 1/800 Sverdlov Class Light Cruiser Papermodel

 


Sverdlov Class (Project 68bis), built in 1950-s were the last gun cruiser of the Soviet Navy. While provided with modern radar and anti-aircraft gun Soviet Union had to offer, they were already rendered obsolete by the entry of service with the advent of missile age. Of the planned 40 ships of the class, only 14 completed and remained in service until the 80s.

One of the ship, Ordzhonikidze, was sold to Indonesia in 1963 and renamed IRIAN in 1963 in preparation of  impending invasion of West Papua with the main task of hunting down Dutch aircraft carrier Karel Doorman. 









Actually this model pattern were made as somekind of an study, since i'm still trying on SketchUp and Inkscape, due to such "experimental" nature of the model, there is no assembly instruction available, but you can see the photos from the tesbuild phase as a reference. As for the cannon part, i use  0,3 mm mechanical pencil lead.
