Hello!

I am researching a possible project, based on the Zheleznyakov "class" Monitor, a soviet river monitor from world war 2. One of them, the only one that survived, is on the Dnieper river margin, as you can see in this picture:



Does anyone have any pictures of this ship? Or even a walkaround from the original on Kiev?

Thanks!
Marranita

Please check this links for the beginning
