28-foot steam cutter on the James White system was completely wooden constructed and equipped with a single cylinder steam engine with a power of 2 and 1/4 nominal forces.
The cutter was built approximately in 1876 and mounted on the armored cruiser General-Admiral of Imperial fleet of the Armed forces of the Russian Empire and was used for transportation of senior officers.

Original Specifications:

General-Admiral was the world's first ocean-going armored cruiser. Built under the project of A. Popov and ship engineers I. Dmitriev and N. Kuteynikov at Semyannikov and Poletiki shipyard. The builder was the English naval foreman Bane, but in 1873 after his death, russian expert P. Titov became in charge. Building Supervision was carried out by ship engineer captain N. Subbotin. It was placed into service in 1875.

Hello Dmitry Viktorovich (Piroscaf)
Thank you so much for the step-by-step instructions. We would like to know how to order your model and payment method. Of course, we understand that the cost of delivery depends on the carrier and the country\city to be delivered.

BTW, if any interested what is Piroscaf, I believe it comes from Piroscafo (Italian) for steamship/steamboat, steamer. Am I correct Dmitry?

We do really want to provide you with a kit, but a little bit later. Now, dew to the pandemic, we have a line of customers for the model. However, the set has slightly changed for the better lately. Plus, we are about to release of English and Spanish instructions to the kit. As soon as printing houses begin to work, we will place it on Ebey and other trading platforms.
 
Dmitry, Great looking craft I would love to try and build one to sail but about 1500mm long, I also really like the very clear computer generated images what program are you using?
Hi.
Mostly we are using two programs, RhinoCeros 6 and T-Flex Cad.
Generally T-Flex Cad/

As I have already mentioned great design will make build process easy. @Piroscaf Would recommend this model kit for beginners? What are minimum skills will require to assemble such model?

We tried to make our kit closer to the ideal. But still the model is for those of you who have some experience in working with wood and plastic, because it comes out that it is hard to perform diagonal plating in a good quality without thermoforming. So we highly recommend using hot melt applicator for this.
