Latest News in from Pavel Vacata, of Admiralty Model Worksto commemorate the anniversary of the sinking of HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse they have announced and confirmed the availability of their 1/350th HMS Repulse Update Set .

Check out the released images to get a full idea of the sets contents.

The most exciting news is that this update set is available now with a retail price of US$75.00 plus shipping with part no. 350/002.

Admiralty Model Works have primarily designed this Set to update the 1/350th Trumpeter HMS Repulse to the “as sunk” fit, with the correct deckhouses, post 1939 refit.

Utilizing the parts in the Update Set the HMS Repulse can be built to represent how she looked when she was sunk on December 10, 1941, with HMS Prince of Wales, then operating as Force Z.

In 1939 King George V and Queen Consort Elizabeth (Queen Mother) were to travel to Canada in HMS Repulse. The ship was refitted to take the Royal Family, but at the last minute it was deemed that the ship was too valuable as a fighting unit to be used merely as an armed Royal Yacht.

This Update set replaces the aft deckhouses with corrected parts for the time which reflects the structural changes done to the ship to house the Royal Couple.

Kit features:

• Deckhouse;
  
• Shelter Deck;
  
• Ships Boats16 in all;
  
• APhoto-etch;
  
• A ships crest.
