Tamiya 1/700 Ships - Prince Of Wales Battle Of Malaya - 31615

The Tamiya 1/700 HMS Prince of Wales Battle of Malaya (31615) reproduces the KGV-class battleship specifically in her Battle of Malaya December 1941 configuration — the specification she carried when she was sunk by Japanese torpedo aircraft on 10 December 1941. This Malaya-specific kit captures the Prince of Wales as she appeared on her final day, operating without air cover as part of Force Z in an attempt to intercept Japanese invasion convoys off Malaya — a mission that ended with her loss and a fundamental change in naval doctrine worldwide.

Kit highlights:

• Accurate HMS Prince of Wales in December 1941 Force Z specification
• Battle of Malaya configuration faithfully reproduced
• The battleship sunk by Japanese air power in 1/700 scale
• Pair with HMS Repulse (31617) for the complete Force Z
• A historically significant and poignant warship subject
