W.M.C. Models Groza – gunboat

The series of gunboats was created based on the "Yersh" project, built between 1873 and 1876 at the New Admiralty shipyard. A series of 4 units was constructed. "Groza" was laid down in 1879 and launched in July 1880. The ship was distinguished by good seaworthiness and responded smoothly to rolling. In 1887, hydrographic measurements were carried out from the deck of this ship in the Abo skerries. It served until 1907, when it was decommissioned and scrapped. This is a rather complex model of a small ship, but its assembly is greatly facilitated by the large number of well-readable assembly drawings.
