Scale Recreation of the Prince of Wales and Repulse Action

The Tamiya 25422 - 1/700 Battle of Malaya kit reproduces the key units involved in the December 1941 incident. Included are the capital ships Prince of Wales and Repulse, the destroyers Electra, Express and Vampire, and the Japanese bombers responsible for the attack.

Context and Modelling Focus

Sailing to bolster defences, these British vessels encountered coordinated aerial strikes that proved decisive. The kit offers parts faithful to the ships structure and aircraft shapes, enabling modellers to study rigging positions, mast layouts and flight formations when assembling a historically informed display.

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Contains Prince of Wales, Repulse, Electra, Express, Vampire and Japanese bombers
  • Assembly is required
  • Paints and decals must be purchased separately
The kit is best suited to modellers with some experience at small scales. While parts fit is generally good, working at 1/700 requires steady hands and patience.
Decals are not included with the kit, so builders should source period-accurate decals for ship hull numbers and aircraft markings if desired.
Yes, the selection of ships and aircraft is ideal for a small vignette showing the interplay between capital ships and attacking aircraft, useful for museum style displays or shelf exhibits.
