Historical Background

The Battleship 'Borodino' was the lead vessel of the Borodino-class pre-dreadnought battleships built for the Imperial Russian Navy in the early 20th century. This class stood out for its innovative armor design and powerful artillery, reflecting Russia’s drive to modernize its fleet in the years leading up to the Russo-Japanese War. Commissioned at a time when naval strategy was rapidly evolving, the Borodino-class combined heavy firepower with relatively high speed for its era, aiming to match or surpass rival fleets on the world stage. In 1905, these battleships saw critical action at the Battle of Tsushima, where they confronted the Imperial Japanese Navy in a defining encounter that dramatically reshaped naval warfare. While the Borodino itself met a tragic end, the class remains a central chapter of maritime history, representing the last generation of pre-dreadnought designs before the advent of newer, faster, and more heavily armed battleships. Incorporating this wooden deck upgrade onto your model not only pays homage to this pivotal piece of naval heritage but also brings an unmistakable touch of realism to your scale model.

How to Use

Follow these steps to enhance your model:

1. Ensure the plastic deck surface is clean and free from dust or debris.
2. Carefully peel the backing from each wood plate, if applicable.
3. Align each plate with the existing deck layout for a precise match.
4. Smoothly press down to secure, avoiding any air bubbles.
5. Use a mild adhesive if necessary for extra stability.
6. Complete your build with appropriate weathering or paint for an accurate historical appearance.
