1/200 HMS Rodney
Trumpeter 1/200 HMS Rodney is a plastic kit of the British Nelson-class battleship. It includes around 1,300 parts, photo-etch and a display stand; the model is over a metre long. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
HMS Rodney was one of the two Nelson-class battleships completed for the Royal Navy in the 1920s. Her unmistakable silhouette came from three triple turrets with 16-inch (406 mm) guns, all grouped forward of the superstructure. In May 1941 Rodney played a major part in the final action against the German battleship Bismarck.
According to the manufacturer the Trumpeter kit in 1/200 scale consists of around 1,300 parts. The hull is moulded in one piece using two-directional slide moulds and the deck is a single part. Nine photo-etched frets with railings, ladders and radar parts are included, along with two aircraft and a display stand.
At over 108 cm long it is a substantial project for an experienced modeller who appreciates the room for detail that a large scale offers. The broad deck and superstructure surfaces allow work with subtle tonal variation and restrained weathering. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
