The model is faithfully reproduced in the popular 1\/700 scale, allowing for a realistic representation of the original’s proportions and details, while maintaining convenient dimensions for collecting – the finished model measures 196 mm in length and 18.9 mm in width.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The HMS Colombo entered service in 1919 and took part in many key Royal Navy operations. The cruiser remained active in the Far East, served in American-Indian waters, and later became part of the Eastern Fleet. It participated in the chase of the German warships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau. In 1942-1943, it was converted into a specialized anti-aircraft defense cruiser and remained actively engaged in the world’s waters until the end of the war. Ultimately decommissioned, it was scrapped in 1948.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1\/700\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of service: \u003cstrong\u003eUnited Kingdom, Royal Navy\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistorical era: \u003cstrong\u003eInterwar period, World War II\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: \u003cstrong\u003ePlastic\u003c\/strong\u003e; kit does NOT include glue or paints\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes: \u003cstrong\u003ephoto-etched parts (1 piece)\u003c\/strong\u003e for the finest details, \u003cstrong\u003eprecisely engraved nameplate\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePart count: \u003cstrong\u003eover 160\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSprue: 6 frames + hull, deck, and superstructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe hull is made using multi-directional slide molds for the best reproduction of details\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFinely reproduced wooden deck pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Trumpeter 06742 HMS Colombo model is dedicated to intermediate and advanced modelers due to the presence of photo-etched parts and a complex multi-part hull structure.
