with most indispensable set of tools i.e. computer, scanner, printer,
scissors and small saw I begun construction works.
To start with old drawings stated the scale 1:50
(1/4" = 1:48), but even without measuring one could have said that
something is wrong. Publisher simply printed the foils as they fit to

KID, met on modelling forum, sent those 3 pictures.
First 2 became invaluable during hull’s construction. I will explain
that later.
Andrzej Bryska, from the same forum, has sent me fantastic pictures of original "Zenit" from 1978 taken by instructor Edward Janczewski. See original Zenit in Photo Galleries section.

So one day I dug out whole set of already historical
"Modelarz" and "Plany Modelarskie" periodicals and started to browse
through drawings and plans. In the past I had in my mind the list of
ships I wanted to build one day…. ZENIT was also on that list. Finally
in Summer 2005 I started to work on the "keel".
