Detailed 1/350 Scale HMS Prince of Wales from Tamiya 78011

The Tamiya 1/350 model of HMS Prince of Wales reproduces a historically important battleship with high fidelity. Renowned for participating in the Bismarck operation and later being sunk alongside HMS Repulse, the kit reflects the ship's December 1941 configuration.

Historical Notes and What the Kit Contains

The Prince of Wales is distinctive in several fittings compared with HMS King George V, and this kit emphasises those differences in the bridge and anti-aircraft areas. The package also contains parts for a Supermarine Walrus plus the Japanese G3M and G4M bombers to add context to your display.

Display and Assembly Insights

Finished length is 649mm with a 99mm beam, creating a striking shelf presence. A display stand and engraved nameplate are provided, and careful, patient assembly of the fine components will produce a very accurate model.

This Tamiya 1/350 kit is best suited to intermediate or advanced modellers due to its delicate parts and the precision required for realistic finishing.
The kit includes the necessary decals for the ship and aircraft as supplied in the box, matching the historical scheme represented by the model.
Use thin thread or specialised rigging wire and apply with careful patience; many builders paint or weather rails before final rigging to avoid damage during handling.
