This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.
Adapted from the manufacturer:
The Exeter was commissioned in 1931 as a York-class heavy cruiser in accordance with the Royal Navy's plans in the 1920s. She became the last cruiser to be armed with 203mm guns due to the London Naval Treaty. She was also equipped with 2 aircraft catapults. After the outbreak of war, Exeter confronted the German heavy cruiser Admiral Graf Spree at the Battle of the River Plate and contributed to the victory.
Between 1940 and 41, she was modified with anti-aircraft guns, and upon returning to the fleet, was put on escort missions in the Atlantic before being transferred to the Pacific. At the Battle of Java Sea, Exeter engaged the IJN fleet and was sunk on March 1, 1941, after a fierce battle.
This kit builds a water line model.
