Why this kit matters

She earned the nickname "Old Reliable" for her dependable service. Building this model allows one to explore the story of a famous ship that survived and served through a major conflict.

Building this kit provides an engaging and challenging experience, perfect for those deeply interested in naval history and modelling.
