Discover a unique offering for history enthusiasts and modelers – the Airfix 50069 HMS Belfast Gift Set at 1/600 scale. This complete set allows you to build a detailed model of the legendary light cruiser HMS Belfast, the famous vessel of the British Royal Navy.

HMS Belfast was launched in 1938 and played a crucial role during World War II. She is best known for her participation in the Battle of North Cape in 1943 and as one of the key ships during the Normandy landings (D-Day) in June 1944. After thorough refurbishment, she also took part in military operations during the Korean conflict from 1950-1952. HMS Belfast is one of the rare three ships that participated in Operation Overlord and survived to this day – she now serves as a museum ship moored on the Thames, near Tower Bridge in London.
