Impressive!!!

But which ship is it???

Most of the normal recognition features have been consumed by the explosion :o :-\

If I had to guess I would go for SMS Yorck :-\

Exceptional model.

As to which ship - I'd go for HMS Thunder Child :)

Excellent work on such an unusual theme for modelmakers.

It's not HMS York, bow and bridge are wrong...

After a bit of rummaging on the net I believe this is a model of the Russian pre-Dreadnaught Borodino exploding during the Battle of Tsushima in 1905.

Of course, I may well be wrong but what you can see of the model matches pictures of the Borodino on Wikipedia.

I agree, that is why I suggested SMS Yorck, a German Roon class Armoured Cruiser that strayed into a "friendly" minefield

Not sure the Russians had the brass eagle on the bow, also didn't Borodino have those strange anchor ramps

Another suggestion is SMS Pommern at Jutland, those main guns look too big for Yorck.

What impresses me most is the water pouring off the raised hull sections. That is not easy to achieve.

I'd agree Mollinary, looks like the SMS Pommern
