Aoshima 06966 1/700 HMS Jupiter - J-class destroyer kit

The Aoshima 06966 kit models HMS Jupiter at 1/700 scale, providing a compact but faithful representation of the wartime destroyer. The kit focuses on correct external form and compact detailing for scale collectors who prefer smaller builds.

Why this ship is interesting

HMS Jupiter served as part of a group of fast destroyers during conflict, carrying out escort and fleet tasks. The kit aims to mirror the ship's external characteristics so builders can display a convincing small-scale example.

Build pointers and display notes

Careful trimming and assembly will pay off with clean joins and accurate alignment. The finished model benefits from careful paintwork and decal placement to bring out deck and hull contrasts.
