Trumpeter 1/350 HMS Abercrombie Monitor - Detailed Ship Model

The Trumpeter 1/350 HMS Abercrombie monitor kit reproduces the vessel with careful attention to scale detail and fittings. It delivers an involved build that appeals to modellers focused on historical naval subjects.

Role in Wartime Operations

During World War II the HMS Abercrombie saw action in the Mediterranean and received battle honours for Sicily and Salerno in 1943. It was equipped with a turret taken from HMS Furious and carried two 15-inch guns, later serving in a support role until decommissioning in 1954.

Kit Composition and Finish

Intended for those with kit-building experience, the model includes over 480 parts plus metal anchor chain and three photo-etched items for fine detail. The split hull design and included display stand with engraved nameplate make the finished model ready for display once painted and weathered.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/350
  • Length: 325mm
  • Beam: 77.5mm
  • Total Parts: 480+
  • Metal Parts: Anchor chain
  • Photo Etched Parts: 3 pieces
  • Assembly: Requires glue
This is a detailed kit best suited to intermediate and advanced builders due to small parts and photo-etched components. Patience and steady hands are useful for the best outcome.
Apply primer first, then build up thin layers of paint. Use washes and dry brushing to highlight panel lines and weathering; mask carefully for deck colours and gun areas to retain crisp detail.
