Hi guys,
the KB-4 variant is a forerunner variant (dated from the year 1936) of project 23 (Sovietsky Sojuz class). It is exactly described in the russian book "Superlinkori Stalina" (means "Stalin's Superbattleships"). Siegfried Breyer has also included this ship in his second volume "Battleships and Battlecruiser 1921-1997" and -amazingly enough- Breyer even provides in his book a sectional drawing which the russian book doesn't include. Nevertheless, I took the data from the russian book because a few times the data of the two books are a little bit different and the russian book provides more data - of course. Of course, in both books the sketches are only quite small and poor and b/w.
@Object 221: Thus I am very, very glad not to say enthusiastic, that you have brought this ship here, which was a long lasted dream of mine. A very fine drawing!
