Hi guys,
This "beautiful" thing was on board of most Russian battleships at the turn of the XIXth century.
So far I have find 3pics of an incomplete rusted wreck, 3 of a less rusted one, one contemporary pic (below), 3 others signed mr Yabukov that I found in this very site (though I can't remember where!!) as well as one bad quality plan.
This is for a 1/35 scratch building work so it's not like i can get away with any cheap tricks.
If i think i can get the shape right, I have no understanding pic or plan about the sight system as well as no idea where the wheels are fixed etc, so any help appreciated

I know I ask for one millimeter in naval history but who knows..

hmm yes I did, the sighting system is so complex on this particular version that I will probably have to ignore it

thanks for giving me that link back anyway Rick !

PS, i just finished that one. Next one after the aforementioned '75 would be the enormous '102 model 1902
