Didn't the Soviets actually build ships like that?

Oh that is cool. And they have line drawings. :))

There was a resin 1/35th model available at one time ... may have been by Mig ? Was sorely tempted but the price put me off :(

That's because it is: Sariwon class corvette (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sariwon_class_corvette)
Based on Soviet 1930s Tral-class minesweeper. Ships in class include: 611, 612, 613, 614, 671
