It's a 1/285th scale model of the USS Burton Island, a 1950s US Navy (and later US Coastguard) ice-breaker. The box art suggests that it's a limited edition reissue of a old kit.
The completed model will be about 28cm long with a beam of about 7cm - quite a tubby little craft.
My current dilemmas are how far to continue with the build before I start applying paint and how far to continue with the build before I cut it down to the waterline.

Oh, now that is cool! Was this a model you had known about for a while?
I think you are going to want to cut it down to the waterline before you add any paint.
Nope, I found one on a stall at my local market and just knew I had to have one!
Water-lining tomorrow, I think.
