1/350 Scale HMS Prince of Wales by Tamiya 78011

Tamiya's 1/350 rendition of HMS Prince of Wales captures the look of a significant WWII capital ship with careful attention to period detail. Known for its involvement in the Bismarck operation and its later loss with HMS Repulse, the model reflects the vessel's appearance in December 1941.

Context, Differences and Kit Components

The Prince of Wales featured several differences from her sister ship, King George V, and the kit highlights those variations in the bridge structure and anti-aircraft fit. Included parts let you build a Supermarine Walrus seaplane alongside Japanese G3M and G4M bombers to round out a historically accurate scene.

Display and Assembly Insights

The assembled hull spans 649mm in length with a 99mm beam, making it a standout on display. A bespoke display stand and nameplate are included, and the intricate assembly provides a rewarding result for those who take care with small detailing.
