An injection-molded plastic kit of the British battlecruiser HMS Repulse from the manufacturer Trumpeter in 1:350 scale, capturing the ship in her final form of 1941. It is an extensive kit with photo-etched parts for the cranes, ladders and railings and with clear parts for two Supermarine Walrus float planes. The hull is split for the build of a full hull as well as a waterline. A stand is included.
HMS Repulse was a British battlecruiser of the Renown class, completed during the First World War and modernized several times between the wars. She was a fast ship with a strong main caliber but weaker armor, typical of the battlecruiser concept. In December 1941 she was sunk, together with the battleship Prince of Wales, by a Japanese air attack off the Malayan coast. That event showed the vulnerability of large surface ships without air cover.
First choose the full hull or the waterline. The photo-etched parts call for patience: bend the railings and the cranes precisely and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue, and glue the plastic parts with a thin cement for plastic. Mask the clear parts of the Walrus aircraft before spraying. Paint with an airbrush in a period British naval camouflage; fine accenting of the panels and a discreet patina will bring out the complex superstructure and the wooden deck. Apply the decals over a gloss clear coat and seal them with a matte one. Extra photo-etched parts and a wooden deck will lift the model further.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
