Tamiya 77504 1/700 Scale HMS Nelson Modellers Kit  [77504]

Tamiya 77504 Compact 1/700 Nelson Battleship Kit

The Tamiya 1/700 British Nelson Battleship model kit is tailored to modellers who enjoy historically accurate naval subjects. HMS Nelson, introduced in 1925, is remembered for its forward gun arrangement and flush deck, features the kit reproduces in fine detail.

Ship Background and Form

Nelson represented a notable stylistic change with its tower bridge and mast above a flush deck, a form well represented in the kit components. The assembly parts are arranged to reflect the ships distinctive profile.

Building Complexity

This kit calls for careful fitting of turrets, superstructure and small fittings. The Nelsons armament included nine 16-inch guns, twelve 6-inch guns and assorted anti-aircraft weapons, all modelled so builders can recreate an accurate ordnance layout.

Presentation and Shelf Impact

Completed, the model makes a strong visual statement on a display stand or within a diorama, drawing attention to the vessels unusual silhouette and historic role in naval development.
