„Maskva“ – the Soviet/ Russian R-51E project river passenger diesel-ship

"Moskva" (project R-51 and its export versions R-51E, R-51EA) is a series of two-deck passenger river diesel-ships, designed for water transportation on local lines, as well as for work on picnic and excursion routes ("river trams"). The original diesel-ship has an enclosed passenger salon with soft and comfortable seats, and passengers can also sit on benches, placed on the superstructure roof under the awning, behind the control cabin. Due to its technical characteristics and ease of operation, "Moskva" type diesel-ships are widely used on the territory of the USSR and beyond. After the ship was built, it was given a name, consisting of the name of the river and a number, for example "Moskva-80".

A not too complicated, well-designed and richly detailed model, that even an advanced beginner modeler, working under the supervision of a more experienced colleague, will be able to complete without much trouble. Model with full detailing of the passenger salon and control cabin, which we do not recommend made for less experienced modelers.
