These guided missile frigates were developed for anti-air, anti-submarine, and escort duties during the Cold War and beyond. Their combination of versatility and long service life made them important assets in regional naval operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Santa Maria class served with the Spanish Navy and shared much of the same design and equipment. Both classes participated in international exercises, peacekeeping missions, and maritime security operations across several decades. Their recognisable profile and operational history make them popular subjects for modern naval scale model collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild using paint and glue.
