Trumpeter 04516 RUSSIAN NAVY UDALOY CLASS DESTROYER ADMIRAL PANTELEYEV 1/350 – Plastic model kit of a military warship for assembly

The Trumpeter 04516 model depicts the Russian Udaloy-class destroyer – ADMIRAL PANTELEYEV in the popular 1/350 scale. This set is an excellent choice for naval modeling enthusiasts and fans of Cold War and modern-era navies. This ship has been and continues to be one of the main assets of the Russian fleet, primarily designed for anti-submarine warfare as well as combat support for surface forces. ADMIRAL PANTELEYEV has served in the Russian Navy from the late 1980s to the present day and takes an active part in combat missions and international exercises.

Project 1155, on which the Udaloy class is based, was developed in the 1970s. The ships in this group are the Soviet counterparts to many American destroyers, such as the Spruance class, with an emphasis on anti-submarine warfare. They have a long operational range and the capability to resupply at sea. The introduction of two helicopter hangars and the advanced Klinok anti-aircraft weapon system addressed deficiencies in the Krivak program. A defining feature of this class is the presence of a flight deck and dedicated ramp for helicopters, enabling robust air support for anti-submarine operations.
