Aoshima 1/700 HMS Hermes carrier kit summary

For modellers who appreciate maritime history, the Aoshima 1/700 HMS Hermes provides a faithful small-scale representation of a historic carrier. The Water Line Series format keeps the model focused on hull and superstructure detail, ideal for display cases.

Significance of the Hermes in carrier development
