The Nelson was laid down in December 1922 at the Newcastle yard of Vickers-Armstrong. She was launched on September 3rd 1925 and completed in June 1927. Her armament consisted of nine 16-inch guns in triple turrets all sited forward of her bridge, twelve 6-inch guns in twin turrets, six 4-7 inch A.A. guns and eight 2 pounder pom-poms. Also two submerged torpedo tubes housed one on each beam forward below the lower deck line. It is insteresting to note these torpedos were of the 24.5 inch type common in the Japanese Navy, but unique to Nelson and Rodney within the Royal Navy as were their 16-inch guns. In order to save weight extensive use was made of new materials in her construction, such as light weight steel, aluminium, fir for her deck in place of the traditional teak, and plywood for many internal non structural bulkheads and fittings, all of which was fireproofed. Her completed displacement was 33,950 tons over a thousand tons under the limit imposed. The Nelson and Rodney were the first British warships to have a tower bridge and mast, also the first to have flush decks since the Lord Nelsons of 1908 and have their engine rooms forward of the boilers. As protection she carried a 14-inch armour belt along her beam which ran from slightly ahead of her fore turret aft to her steering compartment. Her main turrets carried armour 16-inches thick except for their backs which were 9-inch plate, the barbettes were of 15-inch plate and her middle deck A.P. was 6 1/4 inches thick over her magazines, varying to 3-inches over her machinery spaces. She was powered by Brown-Curtis geared turbines driving two shafts and her machinery was supplied by the Wallsend Slipway and Engineering Company. These gave her a speed of 23.5 knots and 46,000 H.P. at her standard displacement on trials, though this speed was seldom attained in service. She carried a complement in peacetime of 1,300 Officers and men, this being increase in wartime to 1,700. Because of her design, a compromise at best, she handled very badly under most conditions, and especially in cross winds or in shallow water. In a following sea or going astern she steered poorly, and was slow to answer the helm under all conditions.

The "Big E" Commissioned in 1961, the USS Enterprise was nicknamed the "Big E" and was the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. This assembly kit depicts the ship as she appeared after she completed her refit in 1982. The kit features excellent engineering and a high level of detail throughout, with approximately one hundred parts used to recreate the bridge alone. Parts for various vehicles as well as forty aircraft are included for to allow for a busy flight deck and the model also comes with a stand to enable a gorgeous display. Specifications Length: 1005mm, beam: 267mm, height: 203mm  

A Classic British Battleship This kit depicts the HMS King George V, the lead ship of her namesake class of battleships which served the Royal Navy during WWII. Her flat-sided bridge area and distinctive stern shape have been accurately reproduced. Modellers can also enjoy exploring the layout of various superstructure areas such as the navigation and compass decks. Her formidable appearance is completed by her armament of ten 14-inch guns, sixteen 5.25-inch guns, and over 100 anti-aircraft guns. The model comes with a stand and nameplate for a professional display.

Signaling the End of the Battleship Era The 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 the HMS King George V, such as the bridge area and anti-aircraft armament, have been replicated. The kit also comes with parts to depict her Supermarine Walrus seaplane as well as Japanese G3M and G4M bombers (1 each). Comes with a display stand with name plate.

A Highly Decorated Destroyer USS Fletcher (DD-445) was the lead ship of her namesake class of destroyers, of which 175 were built during WWII, and she went on to a long and distinguished service career. Her balanced form as well as details such as her 5-inch DP gun turrets, quintuple torpedo launchers, twin 20mm anti-aircraft guns, and depth charge launchers have been accurately reproduced in this stunning model kit. The gun barrels, gun turrets, and torpedo launchers are all movable to enable dynamic posing. A display stand with name plate is also included.

A Brave Warrior After the withdrawal from the Naval treaties, plans were laid to build Kagero-class warships. The Yukikaze was the 8th completed destroyer built of the Kagero-class in January 1940. The Yukikaze saw fierce action at Midway, Guadalcanal, Mariana Islands, Leyte Gulf, as well as serving in other battles throughout the Pacific Theater. Furthermore, she also served as a patrol ship and assisted in transportation duties. At the time of her completion, she initially came armed with three dual 12.7cm gun turrets and two quadruple 61cm torpedo launchers, but in the latter stages of the War, her armament was strengthened with a complement of AA guns as well as radar changing her beautiful silhouette into one of ferociousness. Even at the Ten-Ichi-Go operation in April 1945 where she fought hard alongside with the doomed Yamato, she was able to save many survivors and return safely to port. The Yukikaze survived WWII relatively undamaged she was therefore named "the Lucky Destroyer". After the war, she was used to ferry Japanese soldiers and personnel back to Japan. Later, she was transferred to the Republic of China for war reparation and served with distinction throughout the 1960s. Features Length: 338mm, Width: 31mm. The added AA guns and radar give the Yukikaze a fierce presence. The ship's hull is separated into left and right parts. The ship's riveted side plates and degaussing cables have been reproduced with great detail. Metal parts depicting the anchor chain and propellers add realism to the model. Machine gun parts feature a laser processing for a sharper, more realistic finish. Polycaps allow the main turrets and torpedo tubes to freely rotate. A display stand is included allowing you to show your wonderful full hull exhibit. After completion, you are able to store your model in its special packaging.
