Historical description and usage

Project 20380 corvettes are the latest generation of Russian multi-role vessels, designed by the Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau. Ships of this series, similar in size to small frigates, form the backbone of the modern Russian fleet in anti-submarine, surface warfare, and air defense roles. The lead ship, "Steregushchiy", entered service in 2008, and since then, vessels of this class have regularly participated in exercises and patrols, including the Baltic Sea and the Barents Sea. They feature stealth technology, innovative hull construction solutions, and advanced electronic warfare and missile systems.

The Takom 6012 kit offers a finely reproduced full hull of the ship, with delicate details thanks to the use of photo-etched parts. The set also includes clear parts imitating glass sections of the bridge and turrets. Decals allow you to create one of four variants of authentic markings for Steregushchiy class ships. In addition to the hull, the kit includes a display base, allowing you to elegantly present the finished model.
