As I am sure many have discovered by now, I like to research the subject I am building. But this one has stumped me. From what I have been able to find which is very little, one photo from the front, looks like this monitor, not sure. The photo is apart of a caption, "The Dunai River Russian Military Flotilla, 1941, Monitor." I have not been able to id anything else, not even what this part of the campaign was during WWII. That means this Monitor was in use at the beginning of WWII and I am not certain, but I believe against the IJA. I believe the river runs thru Asian , ie: India? Have not found any other info. Can tell you this, Russia used monitors, fast attack boats and as has been brought out by boosed, a really neat Monitor complete with tank turrets during WWII. On another web site, found that as recently as within the 70's/80's, the USSR was still building a river assault Monitor. I am really looking forward to building this beast. Rick:D
