She was launched on September 3rd 1925 and completed in June 1927. Her armament consisted of nine 16-inch guns in triple turrets all sited forward of her bridge, twelve 6-inch guns in twin turrets, six 4-7 inch A.A. guns and eight 2 pounder pom-poms. Also two submerged torpedo tubes housed one on each beam forward below the lower deck line. It is interesting to note these torpedos were of the 24.5 inch type common in the Japanese Navy, but unique to Nelson and Rodney within the Royal Navy as were their 16-inch guns. In order to save weight extensive use was made of new materials in her construction, such as light weight steel, aluminum, fir for her deck in place of the traditional teak and plywood for many internal non structural bulkheads and fittings, all of which was fireproofed. Her completed displacement was 33,950 tons over a thousand tons under the limit imposed. Review: Easy model - Goo model; I look forward to completing it as HMS Rodney. Review: quality kit.... good details considering the scale - have always been pleased with Tamiya.... this was no exception..... add a magnifier to your hobby desk for these 1/700 kits if you have old eyes like myself. ## Features - Kit is 12.3 Inch long - Name plate included with kit - 1/700 Scale Warship ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001PYXPSO | | Additional Features | Tamiya 1/700 Scale Warship, Nelson Battleship | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Art Craft Kit Type | Model Kit | | Brand | TAMIYA | | Brand Name | TAMIYA | | Color | Navy | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 110 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04950344999583 | | Included Components | Plastic kit | | Item Dimensions | 12.37 x 1.79 x 2.51 inches | | Item Weight | 0.48 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 12.37 x 1.79 x 2.51 inches | | Manufacturer | MMD Holdings, LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | 77504 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | TM77504 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Paint Type | Acrylic | | Product Style | Unique | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Set Name | 1/700 British Battleship Nelson | | Size | 1/700 scale, 32 x 11.5 x 3.5 cm | | Subject Character | Militär | | Theme | Military | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** TAMIYA - **Color:** Navy - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 12.37 x 1.79 x 2.51 inches - **Theme:** Military ## Images ![Tamiya Models Nelson Battleship - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41jYHbmmIJL.jpg) ![Tamiya Models Nelson Battleship - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gCtxDDrHL.jpg) ![Tamiya Models Nelson Battleship - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41H6DJyBotL.jpg) ![Tamiya Models Nelson Battleship - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZpxLB-BSL.jpg) ![Tamiya Models Nelson Battleship - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41lKUP8KTIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy model *by B***N on December 7, 2025* Goo model; I look forward to completing it as HMS Rodney. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ quality kit.... good details considering the scale *by A***R on May 6, 2024* have always been pleased with Tamiya.... this was no exception..... add a magnifier to your hobby desk for these 1/700 kits if you have old eyes like myself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its an old mold *by N***N on January 2, 2019* Old Mold, flashing, some pieces dont line up exactly perfect, but overall a good kit. The kit can be mediocre, to challenging, since it has a good deal of small pieces, and how much painting detail you plan to do. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11967003-tamiya-models-nelson-battleship](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/11967003-tamiya-models-nelson-battleship) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
