Why this kit matters
The Oliver Hazard Perry Class Frigates were a series of guided-missile frigates built for the US Navy and its allies during the Cold War. These ships served as versatile escorts, providing anti-aircraft and anti-submarine protection. Several Perry-class frigates were also operated by the Royal Australian Navy, playing a crucial role in Australia's maritime defence.
This model kit allows you to recreate a piece of naval history in detailed miniature. Building the Oliver Hazard Perry Class Frigate model with Australian decals is a rewarding project for experienced modellers. The finished model is a great display piece, showcasing the iconic design and international service of these important warships.
