I did a little internet searching and the kit you are reffering to is of the ship orriginally named "Gorch Fock".  She was taken as a war-prize by the soviets after WWII and renamed "Tovarisch".  I am having some problems with the pictures loading on my computer right now so Im not sure what they show, but there is a wikipedia entry all about the ship and her surviving sisters (one of which is the US Coast Guard training ship "Eagle").  Also in the other links at the bottom of the wiki page is the link to the german language site for the ship now.  Hope that helps a little, and good luck I have never had the nerve to tackle all that rigging on a tall ship.

Tovarisch training ship

hi there

i bought a construction kit of a soviet training ship, tovarisch, (ARK 40008 or ALA 040008 is its reference code ) but there is no instruction on the paint - so i would like to ask if anyone has an idea where i can find instructions on the assemblage and the painting of the ship - if anyone knows it right away - even greater
