The Story of the E Class Destroyer Fleet

The nine E Class destroyers entered service in the mid 1930s and were central to fleet and convoy duties throughout World War II. Their service record includes escorting capital ships and taking part in notable surface engagements.

What This Model Offers to Enthusiasts

This Tamiya 1/700 scale kit captures the E Class silhouette and fine hull features, including realistic port holes. It suits collectors who want a faithful representation of British interwar destroyer design.

Build Features and Details

Polycaps are used so all four 12cm main guns plus the two 53.3cm quadruple torpedo launchers retain movement after assembly, letting you pose the ship for display. Markings allow you to identify any one of the nine vessels.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Features: Rotating guns and torpedo launchers
Basic modelling tools and patience are enough: cutters, files, fine glue and paint. An airbrush improves results but is not required.
Decals include options for all nine ships in the class, allowing you to match common wartime schemes for each vessel.
The kit builds well out of the box. Photoetch and fine rigging can add realism but are optional depending on your desired level of detail.
