From
Great Britain and the Royal Navy, there has been a long tradition
of seafaring ships and craft.
The
HMS (Her Majesty's Ship) designates the war time navy ships from
others fleets, a navy developed to protect England over the course
of hundreds of years.
These
model kits of the Royal Navy ships are 1:350, and a few are an
even larger scale than that.
Once
finished, some of these ships can be almost 3 feet long. So you
need plenty of room to display them. But with their many parts,
they can be a great hobby and project to relax with, and have
an amazing model once assembled.
Many
of the model kits represent famous ships of naval history such
as the HMS Hood and HMS Warspite.
The
Hood was one of the Royal Navy ships sent to hunt down and destroy
the Bismarck and the Prinz Eugen. She was damaged and sunk in
that battle when a shell from Bismark hit her.
But any ship would have sustained a lot of damage: ashell from
the Bismarck was just over 5.5 feet long, and weighed 1763 pounds.
The
Warspite fought in WW1. During the Battle at Jutland, she encountered
several instances of breakage, yet kept fighting. Eventually the
Warspite was able to get away, nursing major battle damage, including
over 150 holes in the ship.
The
crew was still able to make steam and so the ship continued on
to port for major repairs that unfortunately would keep her on
the sidelines of the war for months.
These
models cover WWII and other conflicts, but all remind of us of
the valor and bravery of the Royal Navy defending the British
interests at sea and abroad.
