Allô Louis

Congratulations on your built of the Aurora! I have to ask what scale is it, please?
It appears to me to be 1/400 or 1/350?

Thank you, and congratulations once again
Best regards from Lisboa,
Rui

Hallo Ruis...
Thanks for your kind comments about my model....this model comes from a maquette kit....bought it from a car boot sale along with the Poteimkin :):)....I t's 1/350 scale and it's only 12 inches long....had a lot of work to do in it, but it was worth it....It's a very famous ship and it still lies in St Petersburg in Russia....been on it...and it's really raw and nice. It has a lot of history. it fired the first volley from the foreastle gun announcing the Russian Revolution in the early 20 th century...
Best regards
