Description
Ported to OBJ from the model originally created for Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator 2 by Lazarus Starkweather. Preview picture posed in XNALara XPS. NO MODEL DOWNLOAD.

This was an improved version of the original Osa I or Osa Block I missile boat built for the Soviet Navy during the Cold War. Osa II first entered service in 1962 and was produced until 1966, with production discontinued in favor of the newer (but ultimately unsuccessful) Matka class. These are easily distinguished from the older Osa I by the unique ribbed housing for their anti-ship missile launchers, and the swapout was necessary for the new and improved missiles with which Osa II was equipped. 115 Osa IIs are known to have been built, with about 30 or so retained for use with the Soviet Navy and the rest being exported to Soviet-friendly nations and Warsaw Pact allies (Bulgaria only). Foreign-owned Osa Is and Osa IIs saw a lot of action in the various regional Middle East in the late 20th century. These had already been phased out of Soviet naval use and replaced by the Tarantul class corvette before the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Even so, a fair number of export examples are still being used today by those nations that own them (Egypt and Syria in particular).

I had a devil of a time with flipped normals on this one, and I'm still not sure I got them all. I also replaced the original deck color with one that was darker, in order to better match with my other Cold War era Soviet Navy warship and combat small boat models.

This is being made available on this site under right of attribution to the original creator for a work originally released for free. Please credit Lazarus Starkweather for his original effort and Erwil Welker for his further mods. You do not have to credit me for my (somewhat gimped) OBJ port.

TRIVIA - The original Soviet project nickname for what the West calls Osa (Russian for "wasp") is Moskit (Russian for "mosquito")

NOTE - There's a higher-poly CG model out there that's been kicking around the free 3D model sites for years, and which is sort of a simplifed cross between Osa I and Osa II. Here's a link to the CadNav listing, if you want to port it for your own purposes:
