I am considering building Zvezda’s 1/200 Russian training bark Kruzenshtern model, But modifying the model to represent that ship in her original guise as the German sailing cargo ship Padua.

Does anyone know where I can find any drawings or clear photos showing her original configuation? I know the Soviets made some major modifications and modernization to her, including adding engines and propellers. so I want to get some good reference for the ship in her original guide.

You may also want to contact the Harbour Museum in Hamburg (https://shmh.de/de/deutsches-hafenmuseum). They acquired another Flying-P-Liner of that time, the PEKING, that has been moored in New York for decades and was about to be scrapped. The museum will have her restored for static display. The people there have collated considerable amount of relevant information that may be useful for PADUA as well.

There is also the PASSAT in Lübeck-Travemünde, which I believe is kept in her last working state of the mid-1950s, when she was 'grounded' after the loss of her sister PAMIR in a storm: http://passathafen.luebeck.de/passat/.
