| The Heinkel HD 55 was a German flying
boat produced in 1930 for Soviet Navy warships. Designated KR-1 these aircraft
operated on the battleship Parizhskaya Kommuna and the cruisers Chervona
Ukraina, Komintern, Krasny Kavkaz, and Profintern. They were used until
1938 when they were replaced by newer types.

 It's
nice to see Combrig providing these aircraft is separate sets. They
can be used to update your pre war Soviet navy. This set is also available
in 1/350 scale.
Thanks to Combrig
for the review sample.
