The Tamiya British Battleship HMS Rodney Is a Great 1/700 Scale Project, Capturing the Unique All-Forward Turret Design
Key Features
Overview
HMS Rodney was a unique and powerful battleship of the British Royal Navy, completed in 1927. Her revolutionary design placed all three of her massive triple 40.6cm (16-inch) gun turrets forward of the bridge, giving her a distinctive and formidable appearance. Rodney had a distinguished career in WWII, participating in many famous actions, most notably her key role in the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck.
This 1/700 scale kit from Tamiya is a detailed replica of the famous battleship and is part of the classic Waterline Series. The model accurately captures the Rodney's unconventional layout, from her unique turret arrangement to her detailed bridge and mast structure. The main gun turrets are rotatable after assembly, and the secondary and anti-aircraft armaments are also sharply detailed.
