Dug this out of the loft to do on the next playday on Sunday. 
It is the Russian aircraft carrier Minsk, commissioned in 1978 and discarded in 1992. It is an Aoshima model - no idea when or where I got it but its been waiting for quite some time to be started, next job is to find if I have any 1/700 scale rails in the stash ???

Some work done on the ship during a lot of talking during playday11. 
The last photo shows the markings on the deck, they have to be painted as no decals, but will thin them down a little.

Thanks for the railings Zak - have now just sent off for some etch to replace the radars etc. 
Also sent for some brushes from ABC Brushes that Chris was using - lots of work and chat on the day and also cost some money - hohohhoho - but a GREAT day.
