Built in Germany for the Russian Navy, it entered service in 1902 and was operated by the fleet of the Russian Empire. It was famous for its unusual silhouette – five funnels arranged in a single line made it recognizable worldwide. \"Askold\" took active part in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), fighting among others at Port Arthur. During World War I, the ship operated in the Mediterranean Sea and the Far East.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eApplication of the Publication\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Kagero monograph is not only a compendium of knowledge about the ship and its history but also an invaluable aid for modelers building Askold models in various scales—plastic model kits as well as resin or 3D printed models. The rich database of 3D illustrations allows for accurate reproduction of details of individual sections of the hull, superstructure, or armament.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct Category and Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: \u003cstrong\u003emodeling literature \/ naval monograph\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: printed on high-quality matte paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFor whom: a publication recommended for both advanced modelers and beginners who want to build ship models at the highest historical level\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDegree of application difficulty: 1\/5 (easy – a publication for reading and analysis, not a model kit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eKagero 16085 The Russian Cruiser Askold\u003c\/strong\u003e is a must-have for anyone interested in the Imperial Russian Navy, naval modeling, and the history of military engineering in the early decades of the 20th century.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"KAGERO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54723701440846,"sku":"KAG16085","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/5149\/0638\/files\/1c81de0473a3da229c0d7ecba5ef91ed.jpg?v=1755563716","url":"https:\/\/plastmodel.de\/en\/products\/63417-kagero-16085-the-russian-cruiser-askold","provider":"Plastmodel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
