Aoshima 1/700 HMS Hermes waterline carrier overview

If you enjoy naval modelling and period ships, the Aoshima 1/700 HMS Hermes delivers a focused build that highlights carrier architecture. This Water Line Series release recreates the look of the HMS Hermes in a compact scale suited to shelf displays and group collections.

Why the HMS Hermes mattered in naval aviation

HMS Hermes was one of the early carriers designed to operate aircraft from the sea, playing notable roles through the first half of the 20th century. The model reflects that pioneering status, helping modellers connect with a key chapter of naval development.

Build experience and display considerations

The kit includes finely moulded parts to represent deck detail and superstructure. As a waterline model it is intended to sit on flat surfaces, which makes it straightforward to incorporate into dioramas or place on a display plinth once painted and finished.
