Steamships of project 737A are river medium-haul passenger-and-freight paddle steamers. The construction of ships of this type began in the USSR in 1951 at the Kiev shipyard "Leninskaya Kuznitsa". After the implementation of the project in 1959, steam-driven river passenger ships of this type were no longer built in the Soviet Union. Most of them were taken out of service by the mid-eighties, while ships were usually not written off, but transferred to various tourist bases and holiday homes for use as floating hotels. The steamer of this type "Krasnoyarsk" worked the longest in normal operation, which miraculously managed to survive to this day.

Contains 1 plate with parts (165 mm x 290 mm), which are most difficult to cut from cardboard. To use them, the parts must be carefully separated from the plate. Photo etching will help you greatly enhance the effect of your model and give it a much more realistic look.
