Bring an impressive piece of Second World War naval history to life with the Zvezda 9052 Marat! This plastic model kit in 1:350 scale represents the famous Soviet battleship Marat, an imposing warship of the Gangut class that played an important role in Russian and Soviet naval history. With its distinctive gun turrets, elongated hull and impressive silhouette, this historical battleship makes a wonderful addition to any collection of naval scale models. The Marat had an eventful service history and participated in several significant military operations, including the defence of Leningrad during the Second World War.

The battleship originally entered service under the name Petropavlovsk and belonged to the Sevastopol class, also known as the Gangut class. In 1921, the ship was renamed Marat and became part of the Soviet naval forces in the Baltic Sea, later known as the Baltic Fleet. Throughout its long service life, the battleship underwent several modernisations to improve its military capabilities. During the Winter War against Finland in 1939-1940, the Marat provided artillery support for ground troops. The ship also played an important role in the defence of Leningrad during the Second World War, using its heavy naval artillery against enemy positions.

With this Zvezda model kit, you can build an impressive scale replica of a historic Soviet battleship with a fascinating past. Its distinctive superstructure and heavy gun turrets make the Marat a particularly interesting subject for enthusiasts of classic warships. The 1:350 scale makes the model ideal as a standalone display piece or as the centrepiece of a historical naval diorama. With suitable painting, subtle weathering and a realistic water base, you can convincingly recreate the appearance of a Second World War battleship. A distinctive addition for modellers interested in Soviet warships, naval engineering and the history of the Baltic Fleet.
