An interesting subject. It might do well in the old Soviet banded countries, but if history repeats itself, not well in the US. The Russian super carrier that came out around the same time Nimitz did is now found in "bargain basement" type prices of $100 or even a bit less.

Thanks for sharing Gunny.

Interesting subject I like these Russian/Soviet ships, don't ask me why but there is just something about them.

Only thing is it's in the wrong scale for me so will not join my collection as I already have the 1/700 version, tempting though it is.

Ciao
