English Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson‘s "H.M.S. Victory", three-Decker-vessel that was involved in the Trafalgar battle and is the Royal Navy fifth vessel of that name.  On 28th October 1760 the ship was officially named "Victory". In 1777 Great Britain was at war again and on 8th May 1778 the completed vessel was launched as Admiral Vessel under the command of Admiral Lord Keppel to fight her first battle against the French fleet near the Brittany coast. April 1803 she was armed again, with her appearance very different. Most of the golden ornamentation had been changed, or had been deleted. When she then went back to sea she had the looks that are much admired today. In 1825, the vessel became Portsmouth Chief Admiral Headquarters and kept this honor until 1869. The honor was restored to her 32 years later in 1901. In 1921, the Nautical Research Society, whose president was Lord Milford Haven, organized a campaign to save the Victory and on 12th January she was moved into the oldest dry dock in the world: Portsmouth Dock N°2. It is in this dock that she can still be admired, and remains in remarkable condition. Note: The instructions, which are also available separately, are already included with the purchase of the model kit and do not have to be purchased separately.

Flying Cloud was a clipper ship that set the world's sailing record for the fastest passage between New York and San Francisco, 89 days 8 hours. The ship held this record for over 130 years, from 1854 to 1989. Flying Cloud was the most famous of the clippers built by Donald McKay.

Alongside the Pinta and the Santa Maria, the Nina was part of the fleet which Christopher Columbus thought would take him to India. In fact, he wound up discovering the new world (America). The Nina, like the Pinta, was owned by the Pinzon brothers. She was a 60 ton caravel, and was captained on this expedition by Vincente Yanez Pinzon, the youngest of the three brothers. The ship was manned by a crew of 22 Specification Scale: 1:75 Parts: 99 pieces Packaging: 250 x 375 x 70 mm Includes Cement Brush Main paints

Tirpitz was a German battleship, the keel of which was laid in 1936 and launched in April 1939. The battleship entered the rope service in the German Navy (German Kriegsmarine) in February 1941. The ship was 254 meters long, 36 meters wide, and had a full displacement of 53,500 tons. Tirpitz's top speed was around 30-31 knots. The main armament was 8 380 mm guns in four twin turrets, and the secondary armament included: 12 150 mm guns or 16 105 mm guns. The Tirpitz was the second Bismarck-class ship. It was ordered to replace in line the old battleship Schleswig-Holstein, completely obsolete in the 1930s - the same one whose volleys on Westerplatte started World War II in Europe. At the time of launching, Tirpitz was the largest German ship. It had good armor, and its main or secondary armament was in no way inferior to its counterparts on British ships. Shortly after entering service - in June and July 1941 - he insured the activities of the German troops as part of Operation Barbarossa, but no more serious actions against the Soviet fleet took place at that time. Following these actions, Tirpitz was forwarded to the base in Trondheim, Norway at the turn of 1941 and 1942, from where he began to operate against Allied convoys sailing with Lend-and-lease to Murmansk via the North Atlantic and Norwegian Sea. In July 1942, the mere departure from the port of the battleship Tirpitz led to the dispersion of the PQ-17 convoy, which was then decimated by German planes and U-boats. Undoubtedly, Tirpitz's presence in the northern waters was a great nuisance for the Royal Navy, and it involved 5-7 British battleships! It is no coincidence that the German ship was nicknamed "Lonely Lord of the North". Accordingly, in 1943-1944 the British undertook several actions with miniature submarines, which led to damage to the ship. However, Tirpitz was not sunk until November 12, 1944, as a result of a raid by heavy Lancaster-class bombers.  Specification Scale: 1:400 Parts: 327 +337 pieces Packaging: 335 x 665 x 100 mm Includes Cement Brush Main paints

HMS Scylla was a Dido-class cruiser of the Royal Navy. She was built by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company (Greenock, Scotland), with the keel being laid down on 19 April 1939. She was launched on 24 July 1940, and commissioned 12 June 1942. One of two sisters (the other was, appropriately, Charybdis, see Scylla and Charybdis), Scylla was completed with four twin QF 4.5 in Mk.III in UD MK III mountings because of a shortage of the intended QF 5.25 inch gun mountings. The forward superstructure was considerably modified to accommodate these and also to increase crew spaces. Known as the 'toothless terrors', they proved to be very good anti-aircraft ships, often leading to comparisons with their sisters armed with the heavier QF 5.25 in (133 mm) guns.

In order to make up for the lack of point air defense capabilities and strengthen ocean anti-submarine capabilities, Japan built the Murasame-class destroyer in the 1990s. Its construction purpose is to gradually replace the Hatsuyuki-class multi-purpose destroyer, which is mainly used for offshore combat missions. The ship itself and the weapons it carries are relatively backward and unsuitable for ocean combat missions. The Murasame-class multi-purpose destroyer adopts a full-length deck ship type with a neat and concise appearance. The "Sea Sparrow" ship-to-air missile and the "Asroc" anti-submarine missile are both replaced by a vertical launch system. The helicopter landing and take-off deck is wider and equipped with SH-60J "Sea Hawk" multi-purpose anti-submarine helicopters. The hangar can accommodate 2 helicopters. The degree of automation of the entire ship has been greatly improved.

HMHS Britannic was the third and final vessel of the White Star Line's Olympic class of ocean liners and the second White Star ship to bear the name Britannic. She was the younger sister of RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic and was intended to enter service as a transatlantic passenger liner. She operated as a hospital ship from 1915 until her sinking near the Greek island of Kea, in the Aegean Sea at position 37°42′05″N 24°17′02″E, in November 1916. At the time she was the largest hospital ship in the world, and the largest vessel built in Britain. Britannic was launched just before the start of the First World War. She was designed to be the safest of the three ships with design changes made during construction due to lessons learned from the sinking of the Titanic. She was laid up at her builders, Harland & Wolff, in Belfast, for many months before being requisitioned as a hospital ship. In 1915 and 1916 she operated between the United Kingdom and the Dardanelles. On the morning of 21 November 1916, she hit a naval mine of the Imperial German Navy near the Greek island of Kea and sank 55 minutes later, killing 30 of 1,066 people on board; the 1,036 survivors were rescued from the water and from lifeboats. Britannic was the largest ship lost in the First World War. After the War, the White Star Line was compensated for the loss of Britannic by the award of SS Bismarck as part of postwar reparations; she entered service as RMS Majestic. The wreck of the Britannic was located and explored by Jacques Cousteau in 1975. The vessel is the largest intact passenger ship on the seabed in the world. It was bought in 1996 and is currently owned by Simon Mills, a maritime historian. Features One-piece hull made from two-directional slide molds Deck pattern finely rendered. 11 pieces of photo etched frets for handrais,ladders etc. Stand included Model Brief:  Length: 1347mm   Beam: 144.6mm  Total Parts:  2170+ Metal Parts: anchor chain Photo Etched Parts:  11 pcs Total Sprues: 27 sprues , hull ,decks and stand

In the wake of the First World War, the Japanese looked to improve upon their 5500ton class cruisers, then building for service as destroyer squadron leaders. New, contemporary cruiser construction in the United States (Omaha class) and Great Britain (Hawkins class) dictated the need for a larger, faster, and more heavily armed reconnaissance type cruiser. The new IJN ships were designed by Admiral Yuzuru Hiraga to carry six new 20cm mounts and a sizable torpedo battery on a flush deck hull of approximately 7000+ tons (Class A cruiser in IJN parlance).

USS Enterprise (CVN-65) was a US nuclear powered aircraft carrier. The keel for this unit was laid in 1958, the launch took place in September 1960, and the commissioning to the US Navy took place in 1961. The total length of the ship was 342 meters, the overall width was 78.4 meters, and her full displacement was about 93,000 tons. The maximum speed was up to 33 knots. The on-board armament included, among others: three Sea Sparrow rocket launchers and three 20 mm Vulcan Phalanx CIWS sets. Later, two launchers for the RIM-116 missile were also added. The aircraft carrier could take up to 90 aircraft on board, but normally operated 60-70 planes and helicopters. The USS Enterprise (CVN-65, commonly known as Big "E") was the first and only ship of her type. Very high construction costs, well above the original assumption, led to the cancellation of five planned units of this type. The USS Enterprise, however, was unique not only because of this, but also because it was the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in history to have as many as eight nuclear reactors on board! The unit received very modern for those times electronic equipment in the form of e.g. SCANFAR radar. The USS Enterprise (CVN-65), very shortly after its entry into service, took part in the maritime blockade of Cuba in 1962. Two years later, he operated in the Mediterranean. The unit also took an active part in the Vietnam War (1964 / 1965-1975), fighting in it from the very beginning. In 1969, a tragic accident occurred on the carrier, the self-ignition of one of the missiles, killing 28 people and injuring 334. In 1986, the USS Enterprise became the first nuclear carrier to cross the Suez Canal. Shortly after that, the carrier's on-board planes bombed targets in Libya. The unit was decommissioned in 2012. This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.

The USS Enterprise (CV-6) was an American aircraft carrier, the keel of which was laid in 1934, launched in October 1936, and commissioned with the US Navy in May 1938. The ship was 252 m long, 33.4 m wide, and her full displacement at the time of launching was 25,500 tons. The maximum speed of the USS Enterprise was around 32-33 knots, and its main armament consisted of 90 on-board planes. The USS Enterprise was the second Yorktown-class aircraft carrier. The experience gained during the operation of Lexington-type vessels was used in the construction of this type of ship. First of all, it was decided to build relatively large aircraft carriers, with the greatest emphasis on the number of planes taken and the maximum speed, at the expense of armor. So they were going in the same direction as the Japanese designers, and in the opposite direction to the British Royal Navy. It is worth adding that the construction of the aircraft carrier popularly known as "Big E" was part of the program of rebuilding the American economy after the Great Depression of 1929, launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. During its long and well-deserved service, the USS Enterprise was modernized several times: in 1940 it received an air surveillance radar (type CXAM-1), and later in 1942 it received a new SC-2 radar. In the course of the fighting in the Pacific, the anti-aircraft weapons were also changed, which in October 1943 had 40 40 mm cannons and 50 20 mm cannons. At the outbreak of World War II in the Pacific, the USS Enterprise was near Pearl Harbor and, shortly after the Japanese attack, took part in a fruitless search for its attackers. In April 1942, the carrier covered the famous Doolittle Raid in Tokyo. Following this operation, he played one of the most important roles in the Battle of Midway in June 1942. Later in 1942, the USS Enterprise was intensively involved in naval operations in the Guadalcanal area, for example in the Battle of Santa Cruz Island. In November 1943 he covered the American landings on Tarawa and Makin. In early 1944 he took part in the fighting in the Marshall Islands area, and in June of that year he took part in the Battle of the Philippine Sea. In 1945, it supported the American operations on Iwo-Jima and Okinawa, being damaged in their course. It was taken off the line and scrapped in 1960. The USS Enterprise was one of the most distinguished and decorated ships of the US Navy during World War II. Detailed plastic model kit including detailed instructions, decals and in some cases other accessories (etchings, resin and others). Paints and glue are not part of the product and must be purchased separately. This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.

USS Missouri (BB-63) was an American battleship laid down in 1941, launched in January 1944, and commissioned in the US Navy in June 1944. The length of the ship was 270.4 m, width 33 m, and her full displacement - at the time of launching - 58,400 tons. The top speed of the USS Missouri battleship was up to 33 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was 9 406 mm guns in three turrets of three guns each, and the secondary armament was mainly 20 127 mm guns. The USS Missouri was the third of the six Iowa-class battleships ordered. As it turned out, with the Montana-class battleship building program failing, the Iowa-class battleships were the last to be launched for the US Navy. As they were built without any financial or displacement limits, they also turned out to be the most technologically advanced American battleships in World War II. From the outset, they were built as key carrier ships for aircraft carriers and placed great emphasis on high top speed, which made Iowa-class battleships much faster than any other American battleships. They also had carefully crafted armor and new 406 mm Mk. VII with a greater range of the effective shot. USS Missouri (BB-63) began its participation in World War II in December 1944, by ferrying from Atlantic ports to Hawaii. As early as January 1945, he supported the US Marines on Iwo-Jima with his artillery. In March this year, the USS Missouri acted as a shield ship for a team of aircraft carriers that attacked targets on the Japanese Islands with their on-board planes. In April, he supported activities in the Okinawa region. The battleship completed its operations in World War II in a very glorious and representative manner - it was on board that the representatives of Japan signed the act of unconditional surrender of their country on September 2, 1945. The ship also took an active part in the Korean War (1950-1953). In 1956, however, he was placed in the reserve. In the 1980s, he returned to line service, having previously undergone a thorough modernization. It involved the installation of modern electronics and fire control systems, as well as the installation of Tomahawk and Harpoon rocket launchers and Phalanx anti-aircraft systems. The battleship was also adapted to the homing of on-board helicopters. The ship modernized in this way took an active part in the protection of tankers in the Persian Gulf region in 1987, in the final phase of the Iran-Iraq war. He returned to these waters in 1990 to take an active part in Operation Desert Storm (1990-1991) firing rockets and on-board artillery at targets in Iraq. Finally, in 1992, the ship was decommissioned. At present, it serves as a museum ship in Hawaii.

THE USS Missouri (BB-63), (“Mighty Mo” or “Big Mo”) is a United States Navy Iowa-class battleship and was the third ship of the U.S. Navy to be named in honor of the U.S. state of Missouri. Missouri was the last battleship commissioned by the United States and was best remembered as the site of the surrender of the Empire of Japan which ended World War II. Missouri received a total of 11 battle stars for service in World War II, Korea, and the Persian Gulf, and was finally decommissioned on 31 March 1992. She remained on the Naval Vessel Register until January 1995. Features ALL NEW TOOLING!

USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) was an American classic-propelled aircraft carrier. The keel for this unit was laid in 1956, the launch took place in May 1960, and the commissioning to the US Navy took place in 1961. The total length of the ship was 323 meters, the overall width was 86 meters, and her displacement was about 84,000 tons. The maximum speed did not exceed 33 knots. The on-board armament initially consisted of Terrier rocket launchers (later replaced by Sea Sparrow launchers, and later - by RIM-116 launchers) and up to 4 sets of Vulcan Phalanx CIWS cal. 20 mm. The aircraft carrier could take up to 85-90 aircraft on board. The USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) was the lead ship of the carrier class of the same name - Kitty Hawk. The ships of this type were essentially a modernized version of the Forrestal ships. The main changes concerned the enlargement of ships, changes to the layout of the airlifts and the flight deck. The USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) was built at New York Shipbuilding. Shortly after entering service, the carrier was directed to the Pacific and assigned to the United States' 7th Fleet. In the years 1962-1964, the unit courteously visited the ports of Japan and the Philippines. Since 1965, the USS Kitty Hawk on-board aircraft attacked targets in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. In 1980, the unit underwent modernization and extended service life under the SLEP program. Four years later (1984), there was a collision between the aircraft carrier and a Soviet Victor-class submarine. Ultimately, the USS Kitty Hawk was decommissioned in 2009. This fantastic kit includes a highly detailed superstructure and mast, finely engraved hull and deck details, deck elevators, and more.
