The Borodino was the lead ship of her class of pre dreadnought battleships. Named after the Battle at Borodino in 1812, the ship was completed after the start of the Russian/Japanese war in 1904. Borodino was assigned to the second Pacific squadron in the far east after it's completion to break the Japanese blockade at Port Arthur. The ship was sunk in the battle of Tsushima on the 27th May 1905, due to several explosions . sadly there was only one survivor out of a total of 885 officers and enlisted man.

Very nicely drawn! I was wondering when she might turn up here.

Whilst I can't say about the accuracy of the drawing (as I am not as familiar with the ships involved at Tsushima as I probably should be) those funnels look just a little too flat shafing wise in my opinion when compared to the fine work on the hull and superstructure.

I have waited so long for the Borodino's to show up.

Really nice, really nice. The tsarist navy (not least the unfortunate pre-1905 one) is still highly unpresented in the bucket. Keep them coming...

Very nice and really long overdue. I believe the Russian Czarist navy is lacking here in the bucket, so very well done and keep them coming
