We present a unique offer for maritime modeling enthusiasts – Trumpeter 06701 Royal Navy light cruiser Belfast 1942 1/700. This precise plastic model warship kit accurately replicates the legendary British light cruiser HMS Belfast from World War II. The model was developed in the popular 1:700 scale, allowing for a highly detailed replica while maintaining compact dimensions – 281 mm in length and 43.7 mm in width.

HMS Belfast belonged to the Edinburgh class and was one of the largest light cruisers of the United Kingdom. Her keel was laid in 1936 and the vessel entered service in 1938. Its advanced design and powerful armament (twelve 152 mm guns in triple turrets) enabled effective support of key Royal Navy operations during World War II, including the Battle of North Cape (sinking of Scharnhorst), Operation Tungsten, and Operation Aquaman. She also served during the Korean War (post-war years), providing naval gunfire support for UN forces.
