Thanks Frank!
Good review, great kit, LOVE Soviet/Russian subject matter...Hey Frank, guess you can use your recent purchase that you made at the IPMS Expo for research on this one, eh?
Rui, good edit job, mate, I like the inclusion of the walkaround references...class act, as always!

As I've said before I'm not that interested in modern ships, anything newer than WWII. If I were though it would be those Russian, or Soviet, ships. They just look so aggressive that they are impressive. Unlike most modern American or British ships to me they also look like real ships.

Nice review and thanks for posting it. I've got a friend I think would like this one.
