Trumpeter 04546 1/350 Scale HMS Type 23 Frigate Westminster Replica

This Trumpeter 1/350 model of the HMS Type 23 Frigate Westminster (F237) presents a compact yet detailed representation of a contemporary frigate. The kit is well suited to modellers who enjoy replicating modern naval hardware and deck layout.

Designed for Multi-Role Operations

As a Duke-class vessel, Westminster blends anti-submarine systems with flexible mission capability, making it a common choice for sea patrols and escort tasks. The model reflects these design priorities through accurate superstructure and sensor placement.

Assembly and Finishing Notes

The 1/350 scale provides a satisfying level of detail without overwhelming bench space. Parts are moulded to show surface detail, and with careful paintwork the finished model makes a convincing representation of the real ship.

What skill level is best for this kit?

This kit suits intermediate and advanced modellers because of fine parts and detailed assemblies. Beginners can attempt it but should expect a slow, careful build process.

Does the kit include decals for markings?

Decals for hull numbers and basic markings are usually included. For highly accurate insignia or weathered finishes, many builders use aftermarket decal sheets.

Any tips for painting small radar and sensor parts?

Use a fine-tipped brush or micro-masking to preserve detail. Light dry brushing and subtle washes bring out the shapes of radars and antennae without obscuring them.
