1/600 Soviet Anti-Submarine Helicopter Cruiser Moskva (Aurora)

This is the Aurora 1/600 Soviet Anti-Submarine Helicopter Cruiser Moskva. It's an early-70s vintage Aurora kit (not the later Airfix version, which I'm pretty sure is from the same molds). It's built straight from the box. I'm fascinated by the distinctive naval architecture of Russian warships. This kit is a little crude but is a reasonable representation of an unusual subject.
