The Royal Navy built 14 separate guided-missile destroyers in its Type42 class, and the type served from 1975 till 2013. Construction wasactually separated into three batches. The first six destroyers in Batch1 were commissioned from 1975-79. Batch 2 added four more destroyersfrom 1980-83, while the final third batch was also a quartet of shipscommissioned from 1982-85. Each batch featured slight modifications. TheType 42’s operational peak was during the Falklands War of 1982, whereseven destroyers deployed to the South Atlantic to help recapture theislands from Argentina. However, two of them first-of-class HMSSheffield, and the fourth vessel HMS Coventry were hit and sunk by anExocet air-to-surface missile and an iron bomb respectively. Anotherdestroyer, HMS Glasgow, was also disabled by an unexploded bomb that passed through the aft engine room.

Dragon’s latest 1/700 scale ship model represents the entire class ofRoyal Navy Type 42 destroyers. Indeed, it can be described as a 3-in-1kit since either of the three production batches can be built. Shipmodelers can examine each of the batch types in turn, and then buildwhichever one catches their fancy. Furthermore, a range of Cartografdecals allows model-makers to also select which vessel within the classthey want to depict. In addition to the wonderfully well-engineeredplastic parts, there’s an upgraded set of photo-etched components thatelevate this kit to a whole new level of finesse. This 3-in-1 1/700destroyer kit is superbly specified to give the modeler the widest range of options possible.
