First off, at 1/200 scale this is a huge model. The hull measures almost 31 inches. This kit is not only huge only in terms of size but also in terms on the number of parts, which total 827 in plastic and 54 in brass. The kit box is 3 feet long itself!

The Sovremenny Class destroyer is a former soviet designed comprehensive surface warship with a maximum displacement of 8480 tons, similar in size to the US Navy's Aegis class missile cruiser. Although this ship is seen as too big for agile modern naval warfare, its awesome combat system including 8 Moskit 3M80E missiles, NATO designated as SS-N-22 Sunburn in particular, is still the most effective deterrent weapon found on any modern naval vessel. This is the reason why the ship is also described as an 'aircraft carrier killer'. The first of its class Sovremenny was initially built in 1977 and then subsequently commissioned in 1980, with a total of eighteen warships built for the former Soviet Navy.
