Not a subject of interest to me but I gotta say if the model is as good as the box art -- I may buy it! FWIW I think Soviet blue water ships are good looking vessels.

I agree, I was going to mention something about how attractive the ships are but didn't find an appropriate place to interject my sentiments. These were also very well rounded ships in regards to their armament.
