The SMS Szent István was an Austro-Hungarian Tegetthoff-class battleship and one of the most important warships of the Austro-Hungarian fleet during World War I. She entered service in 1915, acting as a line and flagship. In June 1918, she was sunk in the Adriatic by Italian torpedo boats, in one of the most well-known naval incidents of the period.

The Eduard 53270 set allows you to very precisely reproduce the characteristic railings that surrounded the decks of this famous battleship. The kit comes with finely cut elements that enable you to create realistic barriers, faithfully following the historical documentation and plans of the original ship. Eduard’s photo-etched accessories are distinguished by the highest quality details, durability, and ease of fit with the Trumpeter plastic model. Compared to plastic railings, photo-etched parts are much more realistic – being finer, with appropriate thickness and sharp detail.

We recommend this set to all modelers who want their SMS Szent István battleship replica to stand out among standard models. It is a particularly attractive option for intermediate and advanced model enthusiasts due to the requirement for precise assembly and the delicacy of the parts. Using this set allows for a more faithful reproduction of the vessel’s appearance and adds a museum-quality level of realism to your diorama.

• Assembly difficulty level: 4/5 (for modelers experienced with photo-etched parts)
