1/700 70304 Combrig Varyag Missile Cruiser Project 58 USSR - Kynda Class
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
Not the commmon Slava-class Varyag, but the much rarer Kynda-Class ship. Very highly detailed and well molded kit that sells new for $57. This is a high-definition cast resin waterline model. Never started. The parts are all still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes illustrated instructions. The Project 58 Missile cruisers, known to NATO as the Kynda class were the first Soviet missile cruisers and a considerable advance for the Soviet Navy. Their main role was anti-surface warfare using the SS-N-3b 'Shaddock' missile. The design proved top-heavy and was soon succeeded by the larger Kresta I, but the Kyndas stayed in service until the fall of the Soviet Union.
