The Tamiya 1/350 scale model of the HMS Prince of Wales offers a meticulous recreation of one of World War II's most significant battleships. Known for its role in the hunt for the German battleship Bismarck and its unfortunate sinking by Japanese bombers alongside HMS Repulse, this model captures the ship as it appeared during the Battle of Malaya in December 1941.
As a key player in early WWII naval operations, the HMS Prince of Wales holds a place in maritime history. This model accurately depicts the differences between the Prince of Wales and its sister ship, the HMS King George V, especially in areas like the bridge and anti-aircraft armament. The kit also includes parts to build a Supermarine Walrus seaplane and two Japanese bombers, the G3M and G4M, enhancing its historical context and display value.
With a length of 649mm and a beam of 99mm, the model provides an impressive display piece for any collection. It comes with a dedicated display stand and nameplate, making it ideal for both showcasing and educational purposes. The detailed assembly process requires attentive handling of intricate parts, rewarding model builders with a highly realistic representation of this iconic battleship.
