Trumpeter 1/350 USS ENGLAND DE-635: Kit Summary

The USS ENGLAND DE-635 earned distinction during World War II and carries the name of Ensign John Charles England, lost at Pearl Harbor. Notably, the ship and her task group sank six Japanese submarines between May 19 and May 31, 1944. This Trumpeter release reproduces that vessel at 1/350 scale for display and research builds.

Service Record

Entered into service in December 1943, the USS ENGLAND was a turbo-electric destroyer escort operating primarily in the Pacific. The model is aimed at hobbyists who want a historically faithful representation of mid war escort vessels.

The kit includes the choice of a waterline plate or a complete lower hull, plus one photo-etched fret to enhance fine components. The parts are moulded to support accurate rigging and deck detail for experienced builders.

Presentation Notes

The model's level of detail and decal options make it suitable for shelf displays, museum style dioramas, or grouping with other WWII naval models. Builders can choose either wartime paint schemes included in the decal set.

Yes, the kit includes decals for 1945 Measure 22 and 1943 Measure 21 to represent different wartime finishes.
The hull and deck layout are standard 1/350 practice, so many aftermarket photo-etch upgrades designed for this scale should be compatible after checking fit.
Use a fine brush or airbrush for base colours and a steady hand or magnifier for tiny fittings; pre-shading and washes will help bring out panel lines and deck detail.
