About the British E Class Destroyer

In order to protect the vital shipping routes that spanned their vast empire, the British Navy built a large number of destroyers in the years leading up to WWII. The nine ships of the E Class, Exmouth, Echo, Eclipse, Electra, Encounter, Escapade, Escort, Esk, and Express were completed in 1934 and took part in many important naval battles throughout the war.

1/700 Waterline Series

This series enriches the modeller with WWII and modern warships from navies that have taken part in the great and significant sea battles across the world.

With over 100 models, the 1/700 Waterline Series represents a collaboration effort of three Japanese model manufacturers of which Tamiya is one. This is the largest of its type in the world and allows the modeller access to a huge choice of these incredible warships.

As the name implies, the models represent the portion of the ship which sits above the waterline. They may be displayed on a flat surface as though they were at sea.

The 1/700 series represents a sensible size without compromising Tamiya detail.

Instructions are clear and concise, which allows the modeller to build a model with relative ease.

Paint and the required modelling glue for these kits is available separately.
