Excellent kit, I already have another one. The King George V is depicted in its post-refit configuration towards the end of the Second World War. It is well detailed, with one significant exception: The boat crane jibs amidships are solid mouldings with moulded representation of the metal framework on the outside faces. This is not good, they look crude, and you really have to get the specialist PE versions and replace them, which is a shame, because even the much smaller 1/600 scale Airfix model managed a decent plastic moulding of the open framework of the jibs. Another issue (my fault this time!) is that I bought this kit to make a model of another of the five KGV class battleships, HMS Anson, in her 1942 configuration. I should have bought the Tamiya HMS Prince of Wales, which has the earlier configuration of the class but was sunk before her four surviving sister-ships were all refitted later in the warRead full review

Great kit from Tamiya, the level of detail is good at this scale and can be improved with additional detail kits. I will be converting this kit for RC use - its very good.

Tamiya have have produced an interesting and detailed kit although if you are using the Eduard etched brass detailing set you will find Tamaya have missed a few details like some of the ladders. Tamiya have produced this ship in her 1944-5 format for her time with the British Pacific Fleet rather than the 1941 format for the action with the Bismark.

Never made a boat before. So treated myself to this reputable Tamiya company model battleship ship. Was very surprised at how big it is. Yet some parts are very small. Goes together well.. A++
