Trumpeter 1/350 HMS Type 23 Frigate Westminster (F237) Scale Model by Trumpeter

The Trumpeter 1/350 model of HMS Westminster captures the clean lines and operational fit of a modern frigate, designed for modellers who value authenticity. The Type 23 class is noted for its role in anti-submarine tasks and varied patrol assignments.

Service Role Overview

Westminster is a member of the Duke-class frigates, built with sonar and anti-submarine capabilities yet adaptable for diverse missions from escort to maritime security. This kit represents those operational traits in miniature form.

Why Modellers Choose This Kit

The 1/350 scale provides a balance between display presence and manageable detail work. Components include finely moulded elements for masts, sensors, and weapons that reward careful assembly and finishing techniques.

Specifications

Yes, the 1/350 scale is popular for dioramas showing harbour scenes or at-sea displays. Plan the base and water effects early to match the ship's footprint.
The instruction booklet covers assembly steps, but fine rigging may require reference photos and steady hands. Many builders use magnification and fine thread for realism.
Accessories labelled for 1/350 naval kits like lifeboats, crew figures, and railings will match this build. Verify part dimensions when selecting aftermarket sets.
