This album covers in detail the Russian protected cruiser \"Varyag\" (Варяг) – a ship that gained international fame during the Russo-Japanese War, and whose history is a symbol of courage and sacrifice of the sailors of the Imperial Russian Navy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003cp\u003eThe Varyag cruiser was built in the USA for Russia at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and served in the Pacific Fleet. The most famous episode in its history was the battle at Chemulpo in 1904, during which the ship engaged in a lone fight against overwhelming Japanese forces and was scuttled by her own crew to avoid capture. After being salvaged and repaired, the ship flew the Japanese flag, and post-WWI she even returned to Russia. Varyag served from 1901 to 1925, that is, during the era of modern naval expansion as well as through World War I and the subsequent political upheavals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: modelling publication, technical drawings and documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePublication in English\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eA4 format (210x297mm), soft, stitched cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDetailed modelling plans in double A2 sheet format and a double A3 insert – ideal for building models in various scales, especially 1\/350, 1\/200, and 1\/700\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e54 pages rich with detailed technical drawings, up to 84 3D visualisations\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAn essential source of knowledge for model makers constructing replicas of the ship from resin, plastic, or using mixed techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKagero 16008 Protected cruiser Varyag EN\u003c\/strong\u003e is recommended to any modeller interested in early 20th-century warships, as well as fans of Russian Fleet history.
