Project 371 cutters were probably the most mass-produced and used picnic boats on the territory of the former USSR for a long time. Due to the fact, that these boats first appeared on the flagship ships of the USSR Navy and their main purpose there was the transportation of command personnel, maintaining the ship's connection with the shore, they were popularly called "Admiralskij". Now these boats are no longer serially produced, but they are still very often found in the waters of the former USSR. During the long years of service, the cutter has earned the love and respect of the people. One such boat - PK - 333 "Vytis - 1" served as a patrol cutter in the restored Lithuanian Navy and this model can be easily converted into ours.

An uncomplicated, well detailed (even with cockpit equipment) small model, perfect for a modeler of any experience, but for beginners it is better to stick it under the supervision of a more experienced colleague and not as one of the first more complex models. One of two boats can be glued together from edition: military or civilian.
