Varyag was a Russian armored and deck cruiser that had its keel laid in 1899 at the William Cramp shipyard in Philadelphia, launched in October of the same year, and commissioned into the Russian Navy in 1901. The ship's length was 129.6 m, its beam was 15.9 m, and its total displacement was about 7,000 tons. The maximum speed was 23 knots. The main armament consisted of twelve 152 mm guns, and the secondary armament consisted of, among others, twelve 76 mm guns or six 381 mm torpedo tubes. Varyag was one of three cruisers ordered by the tsarist government from foreign shipyards for service in the Far East shortly before the outbreak of the Japanese-Russian War (1904–1905). She proved to be a successful ship: she had a good top speed, although she was slower than her sister Askold in theory. She was also well armored and had good seaworthiness. She had - compared to Askold - much better living conditions for the crew. She had, however, less well-placed artillery. In 1902 Varyag joined the Russian Pacific Squadron. During the Japanese-Russian War (1904-1905), she fought a heroic battle near the Korean city of Czemulpo, becoming a legend of the Russian fleet. During the battle, she was scuttled by her crew. However, the Japanese managed to raise the ship from the bottom in August 1905 and incorporated her into their navy under the name Soya. It is noteworthy that in 1916 Japan sold the cruiser to Tsarist Russia, but due to her poor technical condition she did not enter line service and did not take an active part in combat operations, and in 1925 she was dismantled.

Hasegawa HP001 Soya Antarctica Observation Ship 2nd Corps. Scale 1/250. Soya was a Japanese icebreaker, research and supply ship of World War II and post-war times. The unit was launched in February 1938. At the end of the service the ship was 83.5 m long, 13.5 m wide and had a displacement of about 4,100 tons. The maximum speed was 12-13 knots. Soya was originally built to order for the Soviet Union as a commercial ship adapted for sailing in northern waters, with floating ice. Her original name was Wołoczajewiec. However, due to political tensions on the Tokyo-Moscow line, the ship was not delivered to the customer and the ship initially became the property of one of the Japanese shipping companies, which bore the name Chiryo Maru. In 1939, however, it was confiscated by the Navy and from 1940 (under the name Soya) served as a research and ammunition transport vessel. The ship happily survived the war and in 1950 was converted into Japan's first Arctic exploration vessel. In the period 1956-1962, the ship traveled on the Japan-Antarctic route, conducting research and delivering supplies to the Japanese polar base Showa (another name: Syowa). In 1978, Soya was decommissioned and converted into a museum ship. We do not ship to the Canary Islands
