Trumpeter 06746 - 1/700 Destroyer Taszkient, 1940 Appearance

This product is a 1/700 plastic assembly kit representing the Russian destroyer Taszkient as configured in 1940, intended for static display use by hobbyists and collectors.

The real Tashkent, often referenced as Taszkient in some sources, was completed in the late 1930s and served in the Soviet Navy during the opening period of World War II. The design prioritized speed and carried relatively substantial armament for its class, with primary operations in the Black Sea region and a reputation for seaworthiness.

The kit renders the vessel at 1/700 and is suited to builders producing small fleet dioramas. Detail work such as railings, radar fittings, and rigging benefits from aftermarket parts or careful hand-painting to achieve a museum-quality display look.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Assembly: plastic model kit

A compact and display-ready representation of the Taszkient at 1/700 scale, appropriate for collectors and detail-oriented modellers.

How detailed are the small fittings on this kit?

At 1/700 scale, fittings are small and benefit from careful trimming and filing; photo-etch upgrades can noticeably improve the look of railings and ladders.

What painting approach suits this 1940 subject?

A preshade and light weathering approach helps reveal panel lines and small details on a 1/700 ship; refer to historical references for accurate hull and superstructure tones for the 1940 fit.

Is extra rigging required for a realistic finish?

Fine rigging or stretched sprue enhances realism on small-scale ships. Use fine thread and patience; dry-fitting is recommended to avoid distortions.

Will aftermarket parts fit this Trumpeter 06746 kit?

Many aftermarket sets are designed for common 1/700 profiles, but confirm compatibility with Trumpeter 06746 before purchase to ensure correct fit and scale.

Can this kit be displayed in an acrylic case without modification?

Yes, once fully assembled and weathered, the compact 1/700 model fits standard display cases; ensure masts and rigging are secure to avoid damage during handling.
