The ship was designed on a scale of 1:300 and faithfully reflects the details of its historical inspiration. The light cruiser is 64 cm \/ 25.2\" long and 19.5 cm \/ 7.7\" high. It has many movable elements, such as deck guns, rotating artillery towers, rudders and propellers. The model has been covered with high-quality prints representing equipment and camouflage. Prints do not rub off even during intensive use. The set includes a black display stand and a white plate with the name and scale of the model printed on it. The plaque also features the IMW (Imperial War Museums) logo. The Belfast will make a perfect gift for all lovers of history, military and marine science. It will also look great on a desk, bookshelf or on a shelf with souvenirs.

It entered service on August 5, 1939. At the end of November of the same year, as a result of damage by a German mine, she was excluded from service for three years. From 1942 on she covered Arctic convoys. On December 26, 1943, together with the cruisers HMS Norfolk and HMS Sheffield, she repulsed the attacks of the German battleship Scharnhorst, which was trying to break through to an Allied convoy. Scharnhorst's interception contributed to its subsequent encirclement and sinking. HMS Belfast also participated in the attack on the German battleship Tirpitz. Starting in June 1944, it underwent a general renovation. In August 1945, she entered the port of Sydney, where the end of the war in the Pacific found her. In the years 1945-1962, with breaks for repairs, she served in the Far East including participation in the Korean War. In 1966, it was designated for a residential hulk. By 1971, though, she was threatened with scrapping. Thanks to the attitude of British society, though, this did not happen. It was instead anchored on the Thames and became a museum exhibit. Subsequent renovations extend its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e•        1517 high-quality elements\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e•        Produced in the EU by a company with over 20 years of tradition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e•        The blocks meet the safety standards of products for children\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e•        Fully compatible with other brands of construction blocks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e•        Blocks with prints do not scratch or smear and do not fade during play or under the influence of temperature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e•        Clear and intuitive instructions based on illustrations and step-by-step directions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e•        Display stand and a plate with the name of the ship\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e•        Model scale 1:300\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e•        Designed in collaboration with the Imperial War Museums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eModel dimensions with stand (L x W x H): 64 cm (25.2\") x 9 cm (3.5\") x 20 cm (7.8\")\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COBI TOYS, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50784634568989,"sku":"COBI-4844","price":200.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/2370\/0056\/files\/4844-box-front-RGB-72ppi.jpg?v=1768504862"},{"product_id":"cobi-brick-hms-hood-4830","title":"COBI HMS Hood Battlecruiser #4830","description":"\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalog no: \u003c\/strong\u003eCOBI-4830\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePieces: \u003c\/strong\u003e2613\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSCALE: 1:300\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge: \u003c\/strong\u003e8+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePAD PRINTED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale: \u003c\/strong\u003e1:300\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (inches): 34.6” long, 8.7” high\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"\"\u003eHMS Hood was a British battlecruiser from the interwar period and World War II. Launched in 1918, it entered service two years later. It was 262.3 meters long. The main artillery armament of the cruiser was eight BL Mk I guns, caliber 381mm. In the interwar period, the cruiser, as the largest ship in the world, was the showpiece of the Royal Navy. After the outbreak of World War II and the defeat of France, she was transported to Gibraltar, where he joined the Force H. On May 21, 1941, accompanied by the battleship \"Prince of Wales\", she set out on her last voyage. Three days later, British ships clashed in the Danish Strait with the German battleship Bismarck and the accompanying heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. After a short artillery duel over a long distance, the well-aimed salvo caused an internal explosion in the stern of the Hood, which completely destroyed the ship. Out of the 1,418 crew, only three sailors were saved.

The model has numerous moving parts such as: propellers, rudders, rotating towers and gun barrels that can be raised and lowered.

During their service, the ships underwent modernization. Both Pennsylvania-class ships were present at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941. During the raid on the USS Arizona there was a catastrophic detonation. The majority of the crew were killed and the ship sank, becoming a symbol of the Japanese attack. The wreckage of the battleship has never been recovered. The elements of the superstructure protruding above the water surface were removed, leaving only the barbet of the third main artillery tower. In 1962, the USS Arizona mausoleum on the wreckage was opened. During the attack on Pearl Harbor, USS Pennsylvania was only slightly damaged and served throughout World War II in the Pacific, undergoing subsequent modernizations. During the Battle of the Surigao Strait (October 25, 1944), Pennsylvania was hit by a torpedo. Severe damage to the drive made the repair unprofitable. In 1946 the obsolete ship became a target for nuclear weapons tests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e• 2,088 high-quality blocks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e• Produced in the EU by a company with over 20 years of tradition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e• The blocks meet the safety standards of products for children\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e• Fully compatible with other brands of construction blocks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e• Blocks with prints do not scratch or smear and do not fade during play or under the influence of temperature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e• Clear and intuitive instructions based on illustrations and step-by-step directions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e• Aesthetic display stand for the model\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e• Two black plates with the name of the ship and data\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e• Scale of the 1: 300 model\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e• 2-in-1 USS Pennsylvania or USS Arizona construction to choose from!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COBI TOYS, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50808910217501,"sku":"COBI-4842","price":259.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/2370\/0056\/files\/5902251048426.jpg?v=1768501566"}],"url":"https:\/\/hammondaviation.com\/collections\/world-war-ii-ships-and-boats.oembed","provider":"Hammond Aviation Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
