Handsome, post war LARGE class of sov destroyers..........

My dad built me a model (well....) in 1956 from a chunk of pine for the hull. Small brads sufficed for her 4-5.1"! My scratch built model, years later, is a bit more accurate, but my dad's "model" helped "launch" the building of my tiny 1"=128' fleet in 1959. Some time in the 1960s I built my SKORYI class model; which collects dust to this day....... DFO
