About product

The Russian Cruiser Askold

A title from Kagero's naval line. The subject is set by the name: the Russian cruiser Askold.

The real subject

The Askold was a protected cruiser built in a German yard at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. She became famous above all for her silhouette: five slim funnels in a row made her a ship that could not be mistaken for anything else, and this feature became her hallmark. In design she was a fast cruiser with a medium-caliber battery, meant for scouting and for screening the main force. The ship had a long and varied career in several naval theaters.

What makes the subject rewarding for a modeler

Ships of the turn of the century have a different look from the gray warships of later years: broken-up superstructures, tall masts with tops, canvas screens on the railings and often colorful paintwork too. The Askold adds to that a silhouette you remember at first glance. For a model that means an attractive result, but also the need to have documentation on one particular ship at hand, because general surveys will not supply the detail.

Who it is for

  • Modelers building cruisers of the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
  • Readers interested in the Imperial Russian Navy of that time.
  • Collectors of naval literature from this publisher.
  • Readers drawn to ships with an unusual silhouette.

This is a printed publication. It is not a kit and not an accessory for a model; the package holds no parts.

FAQ

A book. A printed publication without any modeling parts.

The make-up of the illustrations differs from volume to volume in naval monographs; check it in the table of contents of the title.

It came from the arrangement of the boiler rooms in a fast cruiser of the day. For a modeler it is the ship's main identifying feature.
