Tamiya 77504 1/700 HMS Nelson Model Kit

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.

Nelsons Historical Profile

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.

Model Building Experience

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.

Exhibition and Storage

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.

The kit follows common references for the Nelson class and captures major features and armament layout; for museum-grade accuracy consult period photos for minor variations.
Yes, the 1/700 scale matches other contemporary kits and the Nelson will display consistently alongside other Royal Navy ships from the same era.
Keep dust off with a soft brush or microfibre cloth and avoid direct sunlight to preserve paint; occasional re-varnishing will protect the finish if handled often.
