HMS Belfast, model, 1517 parts, from 10 years old

The COBI company has prepared a model of the historic British cruiser HMS Belfast as part of the prestigious IMW (Imperial War Museum) collaboration. The ship was designed in 1:300 scale and faithfully reproduces the details of its historical prototype. The light cruiser is 64 cm long and 19.5 cm high. It has many movable elements such as deck guns, rotating artillery turrets, rudders and propellers. The model has been covered with high quality prints that imitate equipment and camouflage. Prints do not rub off even with intensive use. The set includes a black stand and a white plate with the model's name and scale printed on it. The plaque also shows the IMW (Imperial War Museums) logo. The product perfectly fulfils the function of an exclusive gift for all lovers of history, the military and marine science. It will look great on a desk, bookshelf or shelf of souvenirs. Build history, brick by brick!

HMS Belfast is a British Royal Navy light cruiser from the Second World War. It was commissioned on 5 August 1939. At the end of November of the same year, she was taken out of service for three years as a result of damage from a German mine. From 1942, she covered Arctic convoys. On 26 December 1943, together with the cruisers HMS Norfolk and HMS Sheffield, she repulsed attacks by the German battleship Scharnhorst, which was trying to break through to an Allied convoy. Scharnhorst's encirclement contributed to its subsequent sinking. HMS Belfast also took part in the attack on the German battleship Tirpitz. A general refit took place from June 1944. In August 1945, she entered Sydney Harbour, where she met the end of the war in the Pacific. During the years 1945-1962, she served intermittently for repairs in the Far East and took part in the Korean War, among other things. In 1966 it was earmarked as a residential colony. In 1971 it was threatened with scrapping.
Thanks to the active attitude of the British Society this did not happen. It was anchored on the Thames and became a museum unit. Later renovations extended its life.
