I could say this is a great looking model, but it actually looks like a great looking ship, the weathering is spot on and the whole thing has an air to it, now all he has to do now is repeat this in 1-700 lol.
Seriously though, a very, very nice build.

Awesome build, a very attractive ship - great execution - what ship is hiding on the base with it ?

Mr. Carabott, as a modeler and an artist you have a distinctive style which I really like. The shading in the structures, the color choices, details such as drooping helicopter blades, etc. When you put this in a scene, it really creates an enjoyable piece of art. Thanks for posting this and keeping a 60-year-old interested in this addiction-er-hobby.

The workmanship and details are excellent, with the sole exception of one item that jumps out at me -- the single-arm launchers for the M-22 Ураган ('Uragan' -- NATO codename SA-N-7 'Gadfly') missiles have the missile launch rail on the underside of the swing arm, not the top, just as they are on the US FFG-7 frigates:
