About product

HMS Campbeltown 1942 1:700 - Flyhawk

A highly detailed plastic kit model of the British destroyer HMS Campbeltown in her 1942 fit in 1:700 scale from Flyhawk. The small format is made up for by the exceptional fineness of the parts; the package is usually completed by photo-etched parts and decals. A characteristic feature of the ship is the four funnels of the typical American four-stacker destroyer. It is a kit for more demanding modelers who will appreciate precise detail in a small scale.

The real subject

HMS Campbeltown was originally an American destroyer of the First World War, of the four-stacker type, handed over to the Royal Navy under lend-lease. What made her immortal was Operation Chariot - the raid on St. Nazaire on March 28, 1942. The ship, modified to pass for a German vessel, rammed the gates of the dry dock and, with a timed explosive charge in her bow, subsequently blew up, putting the dock out of action for the rest of the war.

Building and painting tips

Decide between the version with the full hull and a stand, or the waterline variant. Glue the fine photo-etched parts, the railings and the radars, with cyanoacrylate glue. For 1942 the period Admiralty camouflage suits; bring the deck and the superstructure out with a fine wash and a dry brush. Because of the tiny parts, work with a sharp tool and tweezers.

Who the model is for

  • collectors of warships in 1:700 scale
  • anyone interested in the history of Operation Chariot and St. Nazaire
  • modelers who appreciate fine detail and photo-etched parts
  • more advanced builders

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