The real Taşkent (Taşkient) was built by the Italian shipyard Odero-Terni-Orlando and delivered to the Soviet Navy in 1939. Known as the "Blue Cruiser" due to its blue paint job and speed exceeding 40 knots, the ship bravely served during the Odessa and Sevastopol sieges before being sunk by an Allied air attack in July 1942.

This kit consists of over 210 plastic parts and recreates the Destroyer Taşkent as it appeared shortly after its delivery in 1940, with faithful accuracy.
