Zvezda 9027 Russian Battle Cruiser Borodino (1/350)

Zvezda 9027 Russian Battle Cruiser Borodino in 1:350 scale is an advanced plastic model kit, meticulously recreating the famous Russian Borodino-class battleship with exceptional attention to detail. The model is designed for both experienced modelers and naval history enthusiasts looking to enrich their collections with one of the key ships of the Russian fleet from the early 20th-century wars period.

The Borodino-class ships were the flagship units of the Imperial Russian Baltic Fleet. They gained the most fame during the Battle of Tsushima in 1905, serving as part of the Second Pacific Squadron in the Russo-Japanese War. These battleships were among the most powerful vessels of their time, but their history ended tragically during this very battle—with the sinking of most ships of the class.
