Product
The T-116 Soviet Minesweeper Card Model Kit from Orel Publishing presents a highly detailed paper model of an AM-type naval minesweeper used by the USSR Navy during World War II. Originally built in the United States and transferred to the Soviet Union under the Lend-Lease program, T-116 served with the Northern Fleet during the Great Patriotic War.
Designed by Vitaly Mordukhovich, this model reflects the author’s signature approach: historical accuracy, thoughtful material selection, and a high level of structural and visual detail. Despite its relatively compact size, the model includes numerous small components and clear, well-structured diagrams that guide the builder through the assembly process.
Printed on 13 A3 sheets with reverse-side printing, the kit allows for clean internal surfaces and enhanced realism. The unusual design lineage, influenced by American naval engineering traditions, makes this minesweeper a distinctive addition to any military fleet paper model collection.
With a medium difficulty level, this kit is ideal for experienced beginners and advanced paper modelers who appreciate WWII naval history and finely detailed ship models.
