This model was modified from the basic Aoshima 1/700 Minsk kit using the bridge  from the Italeri Admiral Kuznetsov kit and other spare parts.  The fourth unit of the Kiev-class, the Admiral Gorshkov (ex-Baku),  is sometimes considered a separate class. Improvements included a phased array radar, extensive electronic warfare installations, and an enlarged command and control suite. The flight deck was extended forward approximately 5 meters over those of the first three ships. Other modifications included the addition of four additional SS-N-12 SLCM launchers (for a total of 12), the deletion of the SUW-N-1 launchers for nuclear armed FRAS-1 anti-ship/anti-submarine ballistic rockets, and deletion  of the SA-N-3 surface-to-air missile, and 10 21-inch torpedo tubes. The ship is equipped with an Udav-1 integrated anti-submarine warfare system with 60 anti-submarine rockets.  The ship is kept in reserve in the Russian Northern Fleet, and has been offered for sale to India.
