Tamiya 1/350 British Battleship Prince of Wales Plastic Model Kit

The Tamiya British Battleship Prince of Wales is a 1/350 scale plastic assembly model kit of the King George V-class battleship that helped signal the end of the battleship era.

Please note this is an unassembled plastic model kit requiring assembly; paints, cement and hobby tools are not included and are required to complete the model.

HMS Prince of Wales took part in a number of important actions early in WWII, such as the hunt for the German battleship Bismarck. She later had the misfortune to become one of the first capital ships to be sunk by airpower when she was sunk by Japanese bombers together with HMS Repulse. This assembly kit depicts the ship as she appeared during the fateful Battle of Malaya in December 1941. Differences from HMS King George V, such as the bridge area and anti-aircraft armament, have been replicated.
