Combrig has released 3 kits of Grozyashchiy Class gunboats, the first armored gunboats for the Russian Imperial Navy - the Grozyashchiy, Otvazhnyj and Gremyashchiy.

These kits are part of Combrigs series of representing Imperial Russian naval vessels of the Russo-Japanese war. These gunboats were built for the Czar from 1892 to 1893.

Gremyashchiy (No. 70159) was sunk by Japanese mine off Port Arthur on August 8th, 1904.

Grozyashchiy (No. 70158) was rebuilt in 1915 with new armament. After the termination of Civil war was laid up and sold for scrap in August, 1922.

Otvazhny (No. 70157) was blown up and scuttled by her crew on Janury 2nd, 1905 at Port Arthur.

While Combrig's usual vendors like Free Time Hobbies does not yet have these kits listed, I have seen them being sold on ebay by a Russian based member there (for $24.99) so I hope this means we'll also see them soon from other kit retailers.
