Product Description
The British Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Hermes makes a return to the 1/700 Waterline Series.
The British Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Hermes was one of the earliest aircraft carriers designed specifically for practical use. Laid down in 1918, launched in 1919, and commissioned in 1924, it was a relatively small aircraft carrier with a displacement of approximately 10,000 tons. Despite this, it made a significant contribution to the development of carrier-based aircraft operations and operated in the Mediterranean and the Far East. It engaged in convoy escort and patrol duties in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, but was sunk in April 1942 during the Indian Ocean operation by an air raid by aircraft from the Japanese Navy's carrier task force.
The USS Hermes was a pioneer in the history of aircraft carrier development, and its design philosophy and operational experience had a significant influence on subsequent aircraft carrier construction.
This kit accurately reproduces the Hermes despite its simple parts configuration.
