Trumpeter 06746 - 1/700 Scale Tashkent-Class Destroyer (1940)

This 1/700 plastic model kit recreates the Russian destroyer Taszkient in its 1940 configuration and is intended as a static display subject for hobby builders and collectors.

The historic Tashkent, sometimes spelled Taszkient, was completed in the late 1930s and served with the Soviet fleet in the early years of the war. The design emphasized high speed and comparatively heavy armament for its size, with operations concentrated in the Black Sea theatre and an engineering profile focused on seaworthiness.

At 1/700 scale the kit is compact and works well in grouped fleet layouts. Careful attention to proportions in the hull and superstructure helps with a faithful finished model; many builders add fine aftermarket details and careful paintwork to lift deck fittings and railings for presentation standards.
