Taking a closer look at this model of the Eskadrennyy bronenosets “Borodino,” one thing that catches the eye immediately is the meticulous attention to detail. The paint job is excellent, with the contrast between the black and red hull making the ship pop. It’s clear that Andrey Prohorov, the builder, invested a lot of time ensuring that every line was sharp and clean, showing off the impressive craftsmanship exacted by a kit from Zvezda on a 1:350 scale.

An interesting aspect of this ship is its historical background. From what I gather, the “Borodino” was part of the Russian fleet during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time when naval warfare was undergoing major changes. These ships were considered advanced for their time, designed to pack a punch with their heavy artillery while boasting substantial armor. Viewing the model, you can just imagine it slicing through the waters with those formidable gun turrets at the ready.

The rigging, in particular, stands out as a real feat. It’s intricate and precisely done, which must have been quite the challenge at this scale. It gives the model an authentic touch, adding to its overall appeal. I find myself admiring how the builder managed to balance all the elements without any of it seeming cluttered or overdone.

It’s got me thinking about what techniques were used for the anchor chains and the tiny lifeboats that adorn the deck. Were they painted first and attached later? Or perhaps did Prohorov tackle it all at once? These small details seem to tell their own stories.

What really makes this model interesting is the way it conveys the strength and presence of the original battleship while being neatly compact enough to fit on your desk. It’s this balance of historical storytelling and craftsmanship that makes the “Borodino” a truly engaging kit for enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
