History and Role of the E Class Destroyers

The British E Class destroyers were key escorts across long wartime sea lanes in the 1930s and 1940s. Launched in 1934, the nine ships in the class served in many important operations, from convoy protection to major fleet engagements.

Why Model the E Class with This Kit

This Tamiya 1/700 scale kit recreates the E Class destroyer profile with careful attention to hull detail, including accurate port holes. It is aimed at modellers who value scale fidelity and authentic surface features.

Build Features and Details

The assembly uses polycaps so all four 12cm main guns and both 53.3cm quadruple torpedo launchers can be posed and rotated after construction. Decal sheets cover the nine individual ships, giving builders choice when finishing the model.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Features: Rotating guns and torpedo launchers
The kit provides plastic parts to build one E Class destroyer with marking options for each of the nine ships. Moving elements include the main guns and the two quadruple torpedo launchers.
It is manageable but not basic. Some prior experience with small parts, careful gluing and painting will help achieve a clean finish.
Use fine brushes or an airbrush for deck and hull tones, apply decals after a gloss coat, and weather lightly to highlight details like portholes and gun housings.
