Responsibility details are not available.
Injection-molded plastic kit of the British destroyer HMS Eskimo of the Tribal class as she was in 1941, from Trumpeter in 1:350 scale. The kit has finely shaped plastic with a molded wooden deck, clear parts and a photo-etched fret for the railings and fine details. A stand is included. It is a rewarding, compact model representing one of the best-known classes of British destroyers of the Second World War.
HMS Eskimo belonged to the Tribal class destroyers, which were marked out by heavy gun armament and an impressive silhouette. Eskimo became famous above all in the Second Battle of Narvik in 1940, where she suffered severe damage to her bow, yet survived and went on serving, among other things in support of Allied operations. The Tribal class was valued for its versatility and combat worth, though it paid for this with a smaller number of torpedoes than other destroyers.
The small hull and the fine superstructures call for careful gluing with thin cement for plastic. Fold the photo-etched railings precisely and attach them with cyanoacrylate glue. Mask the clear parts before spraying. Paint with an airbrush in a period British naval camouflage; tone down the molded wooden deck and pick out the planks lightly. Restrained weathering and panel highlighting will give a small model a sense of scale and depth. Apply the decals over a gloss clear coat and seal them with a matte one. Aftermarket photo-etch and a wooden deck will refine the model further.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
