Inspecting the Tamiya 1/700 King George V naval kit

The Tamiya 1/700 British Battleship King George V kit recreates a prominent World War II battleship in careful small-scale form. Commissioned in 1939 and active in numerous wartime operations, the ship served across multiple theaters. This scale kit gives hobbyists the chance to build a museum-style miniature and explore the vessel's engineering in miniature.

Notable wartime service and legacy

King George V acted as a fleet flagship on several key operations, including actions connected with the German battleship Bismarck and support for Allied landings in the Mediterranean. After Pacific duties she transitioned to training before decommission. The model aims to reflect her operational history and period fittings.

Modeling Appeal and Build Experience

Targeted at model builders with some prior experience, this Tamiya kit includes fine components that show wartime additions like pom-pom antiaircraft mounts and Oerlikon guns. Builders benefit from careful trimming, painting, and precise assembly to achieve a high-quality display model.
