Tamiya 31904 - 1/700 British O-Class Destroyer Model Kit - Classic WWII Escort Kit  [31904]

Tamiya 1/700 O-Class Destroyer kit overview

The Tamiya 1/700 British O-Class Destroyer model kit recreates a wartime escort vessel introduced under the War Emergency Program. These ships were commonly used on convoy escort and patrol missions in northern seas. The kit is designed for hobbyists who enjoy compact, historically accurate builds.

Operational role and kit fidelity

O-Class destroyers were valued for convoy protection and fleet support during WWII. This kit allows builders to reflect different wartime armaments by choosing either 12cm guns or 10.2cm dual-purpose guns. The model also includes depth charge and anchor details to increase authenticity when finished.

Construction notes and display comparisons

With a finished length of 148mm the model slots easily into display groups and offers rich detail for careful painters and riggers. Waterslide decals cover all eight O-Class units and UK flags are supplied. A metal piece helps with hull balance, and full instructions are included to assist assembly. When displayed next to other 1/700 destroyers, such as contemporary German designs, the differences in naval architecture are clear.
