The Nelson, a mighty warship of the Royal Navy, was laid down in December 1922 at the Newcastle yard of Vickers-Armstrong. She was launched on September 3rd, 1925, and completed in June 1927. Her impressive armament consisted of nine 16-inch guns in triple turrets, all situated forward of her bridge, twelve 6-inch guns in twin turrets, six 4.7-inch anti-aircraft guns, and eight 2-pounder pom-poms. Additionally, she was equipped with two submerged torpedo tubes, one on each beam forward below the lower deck line. It is noteworthy that these torpedoes were of the 24.5-inch type, commonly used in the Japanese Navy, but unique to the Nelson and Rodney within the Royal Navy, as were their 16-inch guns.

In an effort to save weight during construction, extensive use was made of new materials, such as lightweight steel, aluminum, fir for her deck in place of the traditional teak, and plywood for many internal non-structural bulkheads and fittings, all of which were fireproofed. The completed displacement of the Nelson was 33,950 tons, which was over a thousand tons under the limit imposed.

The kit being described is a 1/700 scale warship model of the Nelson, measuring 12.3 inches in length. The kit includes a name plate, allowing the builder to display the ship's name proudly.

The meticulous attention to detail and the innovative use of materials in the construction of the Nelson showcase the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the Royal Navy during the interwar period. This iconic warship, with its powerful armament and cutting-edge design, remains a testament to the technological advancements and naval supremacy of the era.
