Vintage Classics: HMS Nelson 1:600

The HMS Nelson from Airfix recreates one of the Royal Navy's most distinctive battleships. As the lead ship of the Nelson class she featured the unique arrangement of all three main gun turrets positioned forward of the superstructure. This gave the vessel its unmistakable appearance and made it one of the most recognisable warships of the interwar period.

During the Second World War HMS Nelson took part in numerous major operations. She escorted convoys and supported Allied landings in the Mediterranean. She provided naval gunfire during the invasions of Sicily and Normandy. Following the end of the war she also participated in the formal Japanese surrender ceremonies in Southeast Asia.

Released as part of the Airfix Vintage Classics range, this kit captures the ship's distinctive profile with detailed superstructure, armament and deck features. It is an excellent addition to any collection of historic naval vessels.
