In 1932, the young state became so strong that it was able to re-arm the Lithuanian border police with new ships. “Memel Lindenau and Co” shipyard in Klaipeda has ordered 3 small and one large boat for the Lithuanian Border Police Fleet. On May 5, 1933, “Partizanas” was admitted to the Treasury of the Republic of Lithuania and handed over to the Border Police. It was used according to its purpose until the occupation of Lithuania, when it was taken over by the border guards of the USSR Baltic Fleet. On the night of October 13, 1941, the boat was thrown on the shallows of Odensholm and destroyed by a storm when the engine failed.
A small and not very complex model of a small boat, suitable for both experienced and novice modelers. There is a possibility to make both a Lithuanian "Partizanas" and a Soviet boat K-276.
