Tamiya Scale Models - 1/700 Waterline Series: TA31617 British Battle Cruiser Repulse. Launched in 1916, the H.M.S. Repulse took part in WWI naval actions before being refitted during the inter-war years. In WWII, the Repulse was in the Atlantic, escorting convoys, hunting German commerce raiders, covering Allied forces near Norway, & chasing German capital ships such as the Bismarck. She was then transferred to the Far East as a deterrent against Japanese aggression. Together with the Prince of Wales and 4 destroyers, the Repulse formed Force Z, which sortied from Singapore in December 1941 and was sighted by Japanese aircraft. In the resulting attack, both the Repulse and Prince of Wales were famously sunk, demonstrating that even capital ships were vulnerable to air attack. .

Pose together with ITEM 31615 Prince of Wales and several ITEM 31909 E Class Destroyers to recreate the ill-fated Force Z.
