This model was made from spare parts. The Mitrofan Moskalenko
is a very large Russian LST-type multifunctional amphibious assault ship.
It is capable of independently transporting, landing, and supporting a
full battalion of naval infantry. The ship can land troops and equipment
by helicopter, landing craft, or by beaching. It contains a large
bombardment rocket launcher complex, and extensive command and control
facilities. The Mitrofan Moskalenko is the most modern of the three
Ivan Rogov class ships. The Ivan Rogov was scrapped in 1996.
P.S. - The hull of this model was made from a 1/600 Airfix HMS Fealess
kit, which was shortened and cut in various areas to make the correct
shape.
