I Love Kit 67203 1/72 PLA Navy Type 21 Class Missile Boat

The “Wasp”-class (Type 021) missile boat was transferred by the Soviet Union in 1959 and was equipped with four “Shangyu-1” missiles. It was relatively advanced equipment at the time. The first ship was built by Shanghai Hudong Shipyard, launched in 1963, and entered service at the end of December 1965. In 1970, this type of boat was fully domestically produced, and Xijiang Shipyard also built the first boat in 1971.

During the process of localization, our technicians also made many improvements to this type of boat, mainly including: developing a steel tiltable mast, changing the missile loading frame to a short frame, and replacing manual stowage and anchoring with anchors. The chain drum automatically starts and throws, and the boats used in the south are equipped with air-conditioning systems, radio stations, reconnaissance radars, security machines and other equipment. In 1975, this type of boat was finalized, mass production began, and equipped with troops. A total of more than 98 boats were produced.
