The "Yuri Gagarin" in 1/200 is preserved at Museum of Cosmonautics and Rocket Technology, Saint Petersburg. I would recommend this fascinating museum to anyone interested in the bold history of space exploration.

Montana class

Post by Stefano »

Today I welcome a new contributor to Battleships&Knights, many of you know already, Akos Gergely, founder of the very missed Warship Projects Board.

Of course, his first detailed and comprehensive article is about Montana class. Drawings in the article by another esteemed member of the old board, Harold Winkel.
