Combrig Models - 70233 - Destroyer Valerian Kuibyshev, 1944

Class: The Orfey-class destroyers were built for the Baltic Fleet of the Imperial Russian Navy. They were modified versions of the earlier destroyer Novik and the Derzky class. These ships were larger, had triple torpedo tubes and an extra 102 mm (4.0 in) gun. One ship, Engels, was fitted with a 305 mm (12 in) recoilless rifle for testing in 1934. Fourteen ships were completed in 1914–1917 and fought in World War I and during the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War. The survivors fought in World War II.

Warship: This Novik-class destroyer was laid down in 1913 and launched in 1915, but because of the Revolution and Civil War construction was hold and continued only in 1924. The ship was completed in 1927 and was named after Russian revolutonary, commander and politician. The ship became the part of the Soviet Northern Fleet. During WWII she provided Red Army units with coastal support and escorted convoys. After the war the destroyer became the test ship for a new equipment. She participated in the nuclear test near Novaya Zemlya in 1955 and survived. Scrapped in 1957.

With over 300 kits in our catalog we cover all of the major navies and all of the periods from the early days of steam to the modern warships. We are technology leaders using CAD and 3D printing to achieve the unparalleled precision and fit in our kits. New materials allow us to release kits fast and with highest levels of quality.

We've been in business for over 20 years. First model kits by Combrig were produced in 1994 - these were resin armored vehicles in 1/35. One year later we have produced a first kit of a warship in 1/700. Symbolically enough, this was a first Russian ironclad Peter the Great.

Lately we've greatly expanded our 1/350 scale range by using new technologies to produce the 1/700 and 1/350 scale kits simultaneously. We are constantly releasing new kits so check our site often to see what's new, or like us on Facebook to receive news as soon as we post them.
