Model Kit:Russian Navy "Oslyabya" Battleship 1901 1:700 Scale (made in Russia )My Cousin asked me to sell some models that his Father had purchased and planned to build during his retirement.

Unfortunately, his passing came before retirement, a time he had hoped to work on his models. This is one of his many model kits that I plan on posting online.
