Type 23 frigates (Duke class) are ships primarily designed for anti-submarine warfare, while also being capable of convoy protection and escorting larger surface units. They are renowned for their advanced Sonar 2087 equipment and their cooperation with Merlin helicopters fitted with anti-submarine systems. HMS Monmouth, the sixth Type 23 ship, was launched in 1991 and since then has been one of the key components of the British fleet. She has participated in numerous international operations, including patrols in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Persian Gulf.

The Trumpeter 06722 plastic model kit is ideal for intermediate to advanced modelers looking for an interesting and realistic ship to add to their collection. Due to the presence of photo-etched details, the construction difficulty level is rated as 3/5. The kit does not include paints or glue – it is recommended to use dedicated modeling supplies for the best result.

We especially recommend it to enthusiasts of modern naval history and all Royal Navy aficionados who want to recreate the legendary HMS Monmouth frigate as a high-quality miniature on their shelf!
