Hello, this maybe an bizarre question, but can anyone id the classes of Russian ships that made up the Pepsi Navy from 1989? And do models of those ships existed in 1/2400 scale. And no this is not a joke. it almost became real.

Go research it online. That is what I would do if I wanted to know.
South Korea received several dozen T-80 tanks years ago as partial payment of debt.
USSR/Russia delivered ships to other countries as well, India, China, probably other for debt payment.

Incidentally, Ukraine asked South Korea for T-80 tanks a few weeks ago.

17 subs, a frigate, destroyer and cruiser, then a tanker.
None in good condition, leaking, rusting, older vessels.
Pepsi sold them so the steel/metal would be re-fabricated for other purposes.
But why don’t you take them for your navy, just have the models.

That’s the idea, I’m looking for the minis based on those ships ether from GHQ or Legion for hire. Though I’m not going to use it for NC.
