Tamiya 77504 1/700 Scale Nelson Battleship Model Kit  [77504]

Detailed Tamiya 77504 1/700 Nelson Battleship Kit

This Tamiya 1/700 British Nelson Battleship model kit gives modelers a chance to recreate a key chapter of naval history. HMS Nelson, launched in 1925, stood out for its forward turret arrangement and flush deck, and this kit captures those defining traits in compact 1/700 scale.

Design and Naval History

The real Nelson marked a shift in British warship design with its tower bridge and mast and a flush deck layout that departed from earlier conventions. The kit reflects those features with carefully prepared parts that mirror the ships profile and engineering advances.

Assembly and Build Notes

Accurate assembly takes patience and attention to small details, particularly when fitting armament and superstructure. The Nelson carried nine 16-inch guns, twelve 6-inch guns and a range of anti-aircraft weapons, and the kit represents these elements for an authentic build experience.

Display and Collection Notes

When finished, the model makes an effective display piece that highlights the Nelsons unusual silhouette and historical role. It sits well alongside other 1/700 warship models and can form the centrepiece of a naval collection or diorama.
