The Airfix 12203 Type 45 Destroyer meticulously replicates one of the most advanced air defense warships in the world. These destroyers are primarily designed to protect fleet groups from air attacks. They are equipped with the innovative Sea Viper missile system, enabling detection and destruction of aerial targets at ranges up to 70 nautical miles. The distinctive shape and superstructure of the ship minimize its radar signature, earning it the reputation of being “invisible to radar.”

The Type 45 Daring Class series consists of six vessels, which have been in active service since 2009. Today, they form the backbone of the British fleet during missions worldwide, from securing trade routes to operating in conflict zones, such as missions in the Middle East.

This model is especially recommended for advanced modelers and all enthusiasts of contemporary naval subjects. The 3/5 difficulty level and high level of detail make it an excellent option for learning new modeling techniques or as an exhibit in your collection. It also serves as a great base for customization – feel free to use photo-etched accessories or resin parts available on the market.

Paints and glue are not included in the kit – create your own color palette according to authentic Royal Navy paint schemes! We recommend this product to anyone passionate about naval history, modern military technology, or looking for a demanding project for long evenings.
