Tamiya 77525 - 1/700 Scale British Battleship King George V WWII Model Kit - Period Accurate Model  [77525]

Introduction to the Tamiya 1/700 King George V kit

The Tamiya 1/700 British Battleship King George V model recreates a key Royal Navy capital ship from World War II at a compact scale. Commissioned in 1939, the vessel served in major theatres and underwent armament changes over its career. This kit enables builders to reproduce that history in a detailed display model.

Chronicle of wartime service

King George V acted as a task force flagship and took part in important episodes, including involvement related to the German battleship Bismarck and support for Allied landings in the Mediterranean. Following Pacific service she moved to training duties before decommissioning. The model reflects notable service-related modifications.

Modeling Appeal and Build Experience

Intended for modelers with some experience, the kit includes small parts representing wartime additions like pom-pom anti-aircraft weapons and Oerlikon guns. The challenge of assembling and painting these details produces a satisfying finished model for display.
