Trumpeter 06746 - 1/700 Representation of the 1940 Tashkent-Class Destroyer

This is a 1/700 scale plastic kit depicting the Russian destroyer Taszkient as it appeared in 1940, intended for static display by scale ship enthusiasts and collectors.

The vessel Tashkent, sometimes cited as Taszkient in period references, was completed in the late 1930s and served with the Soviet Navy in the early war years. Its design focused on achieving high speed and carried heavier armament relative to contemporaries in its displacement bracket, with notable operations in the Black Sea and an emphasis on seaworthiness.

The kit reproduces the ship at 1/700 scale and is best suited to builders producing detailed fleet compositions. Attention to hull and superstructure proportions, plus selective use of aftermarket details or careful painting, will improve display realism.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Assembly: plastic model kit

A precise 1/700 representation of the Taszkient subject, recommended for collectors and experienced modellers aiming for a historically accurate display piece.

Because of the scale and the fine detailing expected, an intermediate to advanced level of modelling experience is advised to complete the kit satisfactorily.
The description does not specify decal inclusion; check the manufacturer's full item information or the box contents list to confirm whether markings are provided.
Manufacturer literature and box art sometimes offer basic references; for comprehensive accuracy consult dedicated naval reference works or period photographs when finishing the model.
Fine tweezers, precision cutters, a good hobby knife, cyanoacrylate or plastic cement suitable for small parts, and magnification help manage tiny components and achieve neat joins.
Adding aftermarket photo-etch, painting small details with a fine brush, and subtle weathering will lift the look of railings and deck equipment on a 1/700 model.
