Tamiya 31617 1/700 Repulse - scale model of a British battle cruiser

This Tamiya 1/700 HMS Repulse kit recreates a key Royal Navy ship from World War II. Famously deployed with Force Z alongside the Prince of Wales, the Repulse is modelled as she appeared before her final mission from Singapore, providing a faithful subject for historical model builds.

Constructing and presenting the Repulse

Precision parts let builders capture the Repulse's profile and deck detail, while the included Supermarine Walrus parts add operational context. Finished builds make striking centrepieces and pair well with other 1/700 Royal Navy ships for display or tabletop presentations.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Includes: Supermarine Walrus floatplane parts
  • Assembly: Requires glue
The kit offers good baseline detail, though some builders add photo-etched parts or thin rigging for enhanced realism depending on the level of finish desired.
Painting significantly improves realism. Careful colour choices and subtle weathering bring out panel lines and deck fittings on this scale.
Consider a simple base with a name plaque or a small diorama with water effects. Grouping with same-era ships enhances historical context.
