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.

About the British E Class Destroyer
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.
