1/350 HMS Ark Royal 1939

HMS Ark Royal was commissioned into the Royal Navy in 1938. During the Second World War she served in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean; in May 1941 her Swordfish torpedo bombers crippled the rudder of the battleship Bismarck. She was sunk by the German submarine U-81 in November 1941.

The kit provides a two-part hull, Fairey Swordfish, Blackburn Skua and Fairey Fulmar Mk.I aircraft, and a decal sheet with flight deck lines, elevators and British aircraft roundels. The colour guide shows the ship in grey with a dark flight deck. This 1/350 model suits modellers interested in the Royal Navy and naval aviation in the early war years. Paints and glue are not included.
