Trumpeter 06746 - 1/700 Russian Destroyer Taszkient 1940

This kit is a 1/700 scale plastic assembly model of the Russian destroyer Taszkient as arranged in 1940, aimed at display-oriented scale shipbuilders and collectors.

The actual destroyer Tashkent (sometimes cited as Taszkient in period sources) entered service in the late 1930s and saw action with the Soviet Navy in early World War II. It was designed for high speed and carried heavier armament relative to its displacement class, operating largely in the Black Sea area and noted for seaworthiness and engineering emphasis on speed.

The model captures the vessel at 1/700 scale and suits builders focused on small fleet presentations. Modelers typically refine fine features such as railings, radar, and rigging during finishing, and may add aftermarket photo-etch or painted details to enhance deck fittings for display use.

A compact 1/700 representation of the Taszkient subject, well suited to inclusion in small naval collections and for modelers who value historically faithful display pieces.
