The Tamiya 1/700 British Nelson Battleship model kit offers modellers a compact and faithful representation of a notable Royal Navy capital ship. Launched in 1925, HMS Nelson is distinguished by its forward-facing turrets and flush deck, characteristics reproduced by this kit.
The Nelson was among the early British vessels to feature a tower bridge and mast above a flush deck, marking a departure from earlier design approaches. The kit parts capture that profile and allow study of the ships layout in miniature.
Assembling this kit requires careful handling of small fittings and correct placement of armament. The original ship mounted nine 16-inch guns, twelve 6-inch guns and a mix of anti-aircraft weapons, all modelled to help achieve an authentic result.
Once complete, the model makes a stately exhibit for a cabinet or display base, emphasising the Nelsons unusual silhouette and technical steps in battleship evolution.
