Tamiya 31904 - 1/700 British O-Class Destroyer Model Kit - Compact WWII Naval Kit  [31904]

Overview of the 1/700 O-Class from Tamiya

Tamiya presents the 1/700 British O-Class Destroyer model kit, recreating a class of escort ships introduced under the War Emergency Program. These destroyers worked extensively on convoy duties in northern waters, and this kit captures their basic silhouettes and fittings for accurate modelling.

Fleet duties and authentic components

The O-Class served primarily as convoy escorts and fleet support during World War II. The kit reflects this role by offering build options for either 12cm main guns or 10.2cm dual-purpose mounts. Depth charge gear and anchor detail are included to improve historical accuracy for display or study.

Build approach and presentation tips

On completion the model measures 148mm in length, ideal for shelf displays or tight diorama scenes. The box contains waterslide decals that represent all eight O-Class ships as well as British flags, plus a metal component to aid stability. Step-by-step instructions help modellers through assembly and finishing.
