Trumpeter 06731 PLA Navy Type 051C Destroyer 1/700

We present an exceptional plastic model kit: Trumpeter 06731 PLA Navy Type 051C Destroyer in 1/700 scale, intended for naval modeling enthusiasts and fans of modern naval forces. The model depicts the legendary Type 051C (Luzhou-class) guided-missile destroyer, a pride of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLA Navy). This design was developed and operated in China during the modern era, starting from the mid-2000s.

The Type 051C represents a “transitional” link in the Chinese fleet, created as a response to growing needs for long-range air defense. The ship was built upon the well-proven Type 051B hull platform, but equipped with the modern Russian S-300FM air defense system with a Tombstone radar, enabling effective air defense at ranges up to 150 km. Ships of this class have participated in exercises and patrols in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea during the first decade of the 21st century. Production ended with the introduction of the more advanced Type 052C destroyers.
