I'd love to see those from GHQ but, they don't release a lot of "Modern" Micronauts during any given year.

The general trend has been to release a few -very- modern ships lately. Since those are all older modern ships (classics, in my opinion), it may be quite some time before they get around to them.

I won't post any links but there are other companies that have models in 1/2400 for some of those ships. CinC's are decent and not expensive.

Based on your posting, I am adding votes for the following items to the Consolidated Micronaut Wish List:
• Early Cold War Soviet guided missile cruiser Kara (Project 1134B) class
• Early Cold War Soviet guided missile cruiser Kresta I (Project 1134) class
• Early Cold War Soviet guided missile cruiser Kresta II (Project 1134A) class
• Early Cold War Soviet helicopter cruiser Moskva (Project 1123) class
• Early Cold War Soviet cruise missile nuclear submarine Charlie I (Project 670A) class
• Late Cold War Soviet cruise missile nuclear submarine Charlie II (Project 670M) class
• Late Cold War Soviet nuclear submarine Alfa (Project 705) class
Since none of these types has enough votes for the “top 100,â€￾ I will not be updating the posted Consolidated Micronaut Wish List Summary at this time.
Thank you for your interest in GHQ’s Micronaut series.

The most recent modern "Soviet" types (and both are a bit of a stretch) released in the Micronaut line are HRC1, CV Liaoning (former Soviet Varyag) and HRC2, destroyer Taizhou (former Soviet Sovremenny class). These were released in the 2013/2014 season.

I'll add a vote for the late cold war Soviet (actually built in Poland) LST Ropucha (Toad, Project 755) class.

Actually, there were three Rogovs. One has been scrapped, the other two are in reserve but I wouldn't expect them ever to go to sea again.
