Back in last summer I took short trip to St. Petersburg where one of my goals was to visit the Central Naval Museum. One of the thing I wanted to find out was a glimbse of model of a ship that was seen in the backround in photos of other models in the museum but never of the actual model itself. The model was rather interesting to me as it was clearly not something that existed in real life. Well I got there and found the model and it was labeled as a "Squardon minesweeper of the 1970's". That was rather odd description as the model clearly showed a ship dating more to late 50's or early 60's.
Back when I posted the images of the ship to internet, it was soon identified as a project 259 squardon minesweeper, a known paper-neverwhere. Thus with dimensions now available, I decided to draw it to the never-where section as well. So here it is as represented in the museum and as it would originally planned with the Zif-31 guns.
