Kiev
by Juan Carlos Pérez

1/700 Kiev (Trumpeter)

This is the USSR Aircraft Carrier Kiev of 273m length, 43.000 tons full load.

Kiev is the first aircraft carrier of the former USSR. There are eight missile launchers located on the head of the deck along with a number of other functional missile launchers on the four sides of upper deck.

The carrier is also equipped with four 76mm. conventional guns which make it so different from the US Navy Ships.

The kit length is 38.7cm.

The Kiev carried Yak-36 “Forger-A” and Ka-25 “Hormone-A”.

I used rails set of Tom’s Modelworks.
