About product

Tamiya British battleship HMS Rodney in 1:700 scale (waterline)

Injection-molded plastic kit of the British battleship HMS Rodney from Tamiya in 1:700 scale, from the waterline range. The model shows the hull above the waterline and is built on a flat surface like a ship afloat. The box holds parts for the hull, the main armament turrets, the superstructure and the light armament. On this type of waterline kit the hull and the main deck form a single part, so the work is mainly gluing the superstructure and the armament. It is a kit to be assembled and painted, not a finished model.

The real subject

HMS Rodney was a British Nelson-class battleship with an unusual layout: all three main armament turrets were placed ahead of the bridge superstructure. During the Second World War she became known above all for her part in sinking the German battleship Bismarck in 1941. The model reproduces her typical silhouette with the guns set forward.

Building and painting tips

A waterline model is built on a flat base; glue the turrets and the superstructure with care and use super glue for the small anti-aircraft armament parts. Paint the hull and the decks in British naval shades and set the wooden areas apart. A dark wash in the recesses and a fine patina will bring out the bulk of the ship. The detail can be extended with aftermarket photo-etched railings and a display stand.

Who the model is for

  • For ship modelers and collectors of the Royal Navy
  • For anyone interested in the unusual Nelson-class battleships
  • For builders of display models and naval dioramas
  • For advanced modelers and skilled beginners

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

She was a British Nelson-class battleship with an unusual layout in which all three main armament turrets are placed ahead of the bridge superstructure.

The model shows only the hull above the waterline and is built on a flat surface like a ship afloat. Here the hull and the main deck are a single part.

Thanks to the one-piece hull and deck it is one of the more approachable ship models; the work is mainly the superstructure and the armament, so a skilled beginner can manage it.
