The RMS Queen Mary II is a modern British passenger ship - a transatlantic liner. The keel for this vessel was laid in 2002, and the launch took place in March 2003. RMS Queen Mary II set out on her first voyage in January 2004. The total length of the vessel at the time of launch was 345.03 meters, with a maximum width of 45 meters and a height of 72 meters. Full displacement reached approx. 79,300 tons, and maximum speed - approx. 30 knots. The ship can accommodate up to 2,695 passengers with 1,253 crew.

RMS Queen Mary II was made as an exclusively made passenger ship dedicated primarily to Atlantic transport. The unit has a highly efficient gym and is also expected to be able to swim without major renovation for approximately 40 years. RMS Queen Mary II sails primarily between North America and Western Europe, but its shipowner organizes once a year 4-month cruises around the world. The cost of building the unit is estimated at approximately $ 900 million. It is worth adding that the average ticket price for one person in 2016 for a two-day cruise was about PLN 1,200.

The Gerald R. Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are currently being constructed for the United States Navy, which intends to eventually acquire ten of these ships in order to replace current carriers on a one-for-one basis, starting with the lead ship of her class, Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), replacing Enterprise (CVN-65), and later the Nimitz-class carriers. The new vessels have a hull similar to the Nimitz class, but they carry technologies since developed with the CVN(X)/CVN-21 program, such as the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS), as well as other design features intended to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs, including sailing with smaller crews. This class of aircraft carriers is named after former U.S. President Gerald R. Ford.[16] CVN-78 was procured in 2008 and commissioned into service on 22 July 2017. The second ship of the class, John F. Kennedy (CVN-79), is scheduled to enter service in 2025.

Despite its importance in Japanese Naval History, the CV Zuiho has never seen the light of day in standard injection plastic...until now!

Major ship components are faithfully reproduced. In particular, the detail on the flight deck is quite well done. Antennas, always difficult to reproduce in 1/700, are solid so super-detailers will want to pick up a set of photo-etched replacements. Antennas can be mounted in either the battle (horizontal) or standard configurations. 

Includes 10 aircraft.

In order to protect the vital shipping routes that spanned their vast empire, the British Navy built a large number of destroyers in the years leading up to WWII. The nine ships of the E Class, Exmouth, Echo, Eclipse, Electra, Encounter, Escapade, Escort, Esk, and Express were completed in 1934 and took part in many important naval battles throughout the war.

Previously packaged together with the battlecruiser HMS Hood in ITEM 31806, naval modellers can now purchase the E Class destroyer separately. Use several kits to reproduce flotillas that took part in major naval battles or line it up with its 1/700 Waterline Series Japanese, German, and American counterparts for an impressive display of destroyers.

Features

• High quality 1/700 scale assembly model kit of the E Class destroyer.
• Hull sides accurately depicts port holes.
• Features polycaps for all 4 12cm main guns and both 53.3cm quadruple torpedo launchers to allow free rotation even after assembly.
• Markings included for all nine E Class ships.
• Display with other Tamiya 1/700 Waterline items to depict participants in famous naval battles.
• Prince of Wales, Hood, Bismarck, Prinz Eugen - Battle of the Denmark Strait, Prince of Wales - Battle of Malaya, Harusame - Battle of Java Sea

Detailed kit builds into either a full-hull or waterline model. Includes a display stand for the full-hull model.
