Navis Neptun 1/1250 1161 RN Tribal Class Destroyer WW2 1937
Tribal-class is a second-hand, 1/1250 scale, waterline, metal model of a large British Destroyer, as built in 1937. This model is in superb, original condition, see photograph. This model was made in Germany by Navis Neptun, catalogue number 1161.
Navis Neptun models have been out of production for around four years, so at the time of writing, new models of popular ships such as this are very difficult to obtain.
The Tribals were the first British "Super Destroyers", designed to match the large French, Italian & Japanese Destroyers then being built. They carried double the number of guns of the previous "I" class but less than half the torpedo tubes.
Captain Vian's ship, Cossack, was the leader of this class.
