Description

The British Battleship Prince of Wales was the second ship of the King George V class. Soon after her completion in March 1941, she was involved in the historic hunt for the German battleship Bismarck. In October she was deployed to South-East Asia to fortify the important British post of Singapore. However, her short career of a mere 9 months came to a dramatic end when intercepted by Japanese bombers in what was to be known as the Battle of Malaya . Tamiya is proud to add the Prince of Wales as she stood during this historic naval battle to our high-quality Water Line Series. Kit also features Japanese planes Type 96 Nell and Type 1 Betty attack bombers for a complete set to accurately recreate battle scenes.
