Summarizing, M/S Zenit display, static model of Instrumental Ship of Polish Nautical University in Gdynia. Zenit and her sister units like Horyzont were originally built in 1950s as fishing trawlers series so called "birds" as their names were taken from birds names. Remaining trawlers, few sank, were rebuilt later within 1962-1965 into school, training ships.

"IPMS Austria has found a great partner and the perfect ambiance for an event like this! Now you can not only admire the skills of modellers from all over Europe and beyond, but our guests will be able to enjoy the magnificent museum as well. You will be able to feel the  the historical interconnection of the museum exhibits and their smaller sisters and brothers - the models and dioramas shown at GoModelling 2009.

Here you have to stop a little bit longer, by that model which pulls most of visitors viewing the exhibition. It rose attraction and admiration mostly of children viewing cross-section, through accommodations and movable machinery of the tug. “Ares” – scratch build model presented by Jan Koszczynski from Gdansk in scale 1:25 (~1/2'') shocked the members of the jury that admitted him the highest note. Result 100 points rewarded his over 3 years labour while building this model with watchmaker's or jeweller's precision.
Model has been built as full hull shell with port side cut longitudinally with open starboard exposing complete inside tug's accommodations.
