Trumpeter 06746 - 1/700 Russian Destroyer Taszkient 1940

This is a 1/700 scale plastic model kit of the Russian destroyer Taszkient as configured in 1940, positioned as a display-oriented static subject for scale ship builders and collectors.

The real destroyer Tashkent (often rendered as Taszkient in some sources) was completed in the late 1930s and served with the Soviet Navy during the early years of World War II. Built to provide high speed and heavier armament for its displacement class, the vessel operated primarily in the Black Sea theatre and was notable for its engineering emphasis on speed and seaworthiness compared with contemporary designs.

The kit reproduces the vessel at 1/700 scale and is intended for modelers focusing on small-scale fleet displays. The subject benefits from careful reference to hull and superstructure proportions, and builders typically address fine details such as railings, radar, and rigging during finishing. Painting and aftermarket photo-etch parts can be used to enhance deck fittings and railwork for display presentations.

A compact 1/700 representation of the Taszkient subject, suitable for inclusion in small-scale naval collections and for builders seeking a historically grounded display model.
