About product

The Type 052C destroyer Lanzhou in 1:700 scale from S-model

An injection-molded plastic kit of a modern surface ship in 1:700 scale, that is in the classic collector's scale for warships. The real subject is the Type 052C destroyer, whose first unit was the Lanzhou herself. In this scale the model comes out at a size that still fits well into a display case while offering room for detailing with photo-etched parts and accessories.

The real subject

The Type 052C is a class of guided missile destroyers of the PLA Navy aimed above all at the air defense of a formation. Characteristic features are the large faces of the phased array radar built into the superstructure and the vertical launch cells for HHQ-9 series surface-to-air missiles. The ship also carries a gun mount forward, anti-ship missiles and a hangar for a shipboard helicopter. The entry of ships of this class into service in the middle of the last decade was a significant step for the PLA Navy toward modern escorts able to operate further from the coast.

Building and painting tips

With ships in 1:700 scale, decide right at the start whether you will build a full hull or the waterline version set into a sea surface. Paint the superstructures and the masts separately from the hull, otherwise it is hard to reach into the corners. It is a good idea to separate the decks and the hull with masking tape and to spray in sequence from the lighter shades to the darker ones. The detail is raised markedly by photo-etched railings, ladders and antennas bought separately. If you set the model on a stand, leave enough room for the helicopter rotor, which is easily damaged during handling.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of modern warships in 1:700 scale.
  • For modelers who want an unusual subject in a display case, neither European nor American.
  • For anyone interested in contemporary naval technology and air defense systems.
  • For builders who like to dress a model up with photo-etched accessories.

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

FAQ

It is a Chinese destroyer aimed at the air defense of a formation, with large faces of phased array radar in the superstructure and vertical cells for HHQ-9 series surface-to-air missiles.

Both versions occur commonly in this scale, and with some kits the choice is up to the modeler.

Railings and antennas can be added with aftermarket photo-etched parts in 1:700 scale.

Ships in 1:700 scale call for careful work with tiny parts and patience in painting, but in their construction they are manageable even for a moderately advanced modeler.
