Tamiya 31617 1/700 HMS Repulse - compact historic model

The Tamiya 1/700 scale Repulse captures an important Royal Navy vessel from World War II. As a member of Force Z with the Prince of Wales, the Repulse is represented in its pre-departure configuration from Singapore, giving builders a chance to assemble a historically minded model suited to cabinets and shelves.

Model assembly and presentation ideas

Fine moulding and clear part definition make this kit rewarding for those who enjoy careful assembly and finishing. The set contains parts to build the Supermarine Walrus floatplane, which enhances authenticity on the finished hull. Display the completed model alone or alongside other 1/700 Royal Navy ships to present a coherent wartime grouping.

Specifications

Yes, the 1/700 scale makes the Repulse compact enough for shelf displays while still offering good visual detail for collectors.
The kit includes the Supermarine Walrus floatplane components, allowing you to depict the ship in an operational role if desired.
A hobby knife, sprue cutters, fine files, model cement and brushes are the minimum tools to assemble and finish this kit effectively.
Use a fine brush or masking techniques for deck areas. Thin layers of paint and light washes help preserve fine moulded detail on the 1/700 scale parts.
