Mig´s spektakulärer Resinbausatz für ein sovietisches Flußboot  in 1:35

The BK1125 soviet boat was used between 1939 and 1945 in all Europe front, from Austria in 1945 to Stalingrad...in all rivers.This armored ship was used like a tank in a river, in fact BRONEKATER (BK) means armored ship. The ship was specially designed to carry different turrets, specially T34, T28 Turrets and DUSHKA turrets.The normal TANK factories produced the same turrets for tanks and for ships.

The soviets used these ships in frontal attacks against other LAND tanks or enemy infantry. Any of these ships was armed with KATIUSHA rockets and T34 and thier effects was terrific.Also, the BK ships was used like CARPET BOMBIG against fortifications or cities (Viene in Austria was bombed with these ships).

The BK have 10 crew, all of them NAVAL sailors.

The BK ships was transported by TRAIN to move the units from a river to other new one, so...it was specially designed to cross tunnels and bridges on board in wagon trains (a modeller can make one of this monster in a wagon train in a diorama).
