1:700 Tamiya 31617 British HMS Repulse Ship Plastic Model kit
Recreate a legendary piece of naval history with the 1:700 Tamiya HMS Repulse – the iconic British battlecruiser that combined battleship firepower with cruiser speed and agility. Commissioned during World War I and serving into World War II, the HMS Repulse became a key asset of the Royal Navy’s Force Z alongside the Prince of Wales. On December 10, 1941, both ships were tragically sunk by Japanese aircraft – marking the first time in history that major warships defending themselves on the open sea were destroyed solely by airpower.
This precision-engineered Tamiya kit brings the HMS Repulse to life with exceptional realism and detail. Every element – from the deck layout to the turrets – has been meticulously recreated. The model includes polycaps for freely rotating gun turrets and a Supermarine Walrus reconnaissance aircraft for added authenticity. With Tamiya’s signature fit and finish, you’ll enjoy a smooth, high-quality building experience that captures the spirit of maritime engineering.
