„Angara“ or DKM „Hela“ – the USSR Navy messenger ship or Kriegsmarine submarine base

The German submarine command ship, the submarine floating base aviso "Hela", entered service in the German Navy in 1940 October 16. 1940-1945 the ship was part of the Kriegsmarine as the headquarters and command ship of the submarine forces of Gros-Admiral Karl Doenitz. During this period, almost all the leaders of the Third Reich - Hitler, Göring, Himmler, Bormann and others - visited the ship. After the defeat of Nazi Germany, by the decision of the Allied Commission to the German naval unit, the ship aviso "Hela" was handed over to the Soviet Union and transferred from the port of Kiel to Swinemünde. In 1946 In January the flag of the Soviet Union Navy was hoisted on the ship and it was included in the Baltic Fleet under the name "Angara".

A fairly complex, well-designed and detailed model, that can be built in one of two versions: the German submarine base DKM "Hela" or the Soviet Navy's "Angara" messenger ship, for intermediate and advanced modellers. The detailisation is the highest possible, but the model is of medium complexity. Working under the guidance of a more experienced colleague, modelers with little experience can stick it together, but it won't be easy. When making this model (as well as others), you should not rush and it should not be the first more complicated model You glue. The publication contains sheets with double-side printing, there is a reserve of colors and textures, excellent graphic instructions.
