This is a 1:700 scale model kit of the British O Class Destroyer, a type of ship built for the Royal Navy as part of the War Emergency Program during World War II. These destroyers were actively involved as convoy escorts in the North Sea. The kit allows modelers to depict the ship armed with either 12cm guns or 10.2cm dual-purpose guns, with finely detailed features such as depth charge launchers and anchors. The set includes decals for all 8 ships in the class, as well as UK flags, making it possible to display them alongside German Z Class destroyers. Prior to WWII, German U-boats posed a significant threat to Britain's seaborne supplies, necessitating the rapid construction of new destroyers and escort vessels.
