Trumpeter 200 scale HMS Nelson

This is an in box review of the new Trumpeter 1/200th scale model of the World War 2 British battleship HMS Nelson. The kit was only released in the last weeks of March. I was unable to find any reviews of this kit online so I thought I'd create one to give anyone interested in buying one or just curious a look.

Wow, that is big! Very informative in-box review. Would love to build this but I've nowhere big enough to build it let alone display it!

[@robertevans8126]

One hell of a kit!

[@NeilPower]

Must get one! Thank you for the review.

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

Hopefully you will post update videos showing your progress

[@jimmclaughlin2728]

I really wish Trumpeter or someone would release a 200 scale ark royal, probably the most famous aircraft carrier of the war yet only Airfix make a poxy 600 scale model

as you probably are now aware , Merit have done a new tool 1/350 Scale HMS Ark Royal this year

[@50somethingbloke19]

Merit do a 1/350th scale Ark Royal if that will do, looks quite nice too.

[@50somethingbloke19]

Ark Royal would be good very historic but personally I'd like to see HMS Victorious and Vanguard but Ark Royal would be a good too.

@@50somethingbloke19why haven't YOU posted one of yours?

[@jerrymccrae7202]

My mistake its Tamaya 1 700! Sorry!

[@jerrymccrae7202]

Looks great but so big! I dont do good on large projects. I like theHasaguwa 1 700 sixe much better.

[@model-man7802]

A look at the instructions would have been nice too.How was the build?

[@50somethingbloke19]

some about the instructions but I've scanned them and put them on the 'Scalemates' website.

[@teacoffee5847]

If you dont like the raised planking i will buy the model off you buddy😂

[@50somethingbloke19]

If I don't like the planking I can always use the A1 wooden deck that I picked up somewhere ! Thank fo the offer however :) Cheers.
