It was an integral part of the equipment on many British warships—from battleships to cruisers. HMS Walrus (the designation in the model's name) did not exist as a separate vessel; rather, examples of this type of aircraft regularly operated from the decks of British ships during World War II, participating in the Battle of the Atlantic, in the Mediterranean Sea, and during operations in the Pacific. The period of use was from 1935 to 1945.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/700 – ideal for naval dioramas and warship collections\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of use: United Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistorical period: World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-quality hard plastic (Injection Moulded Plastic), typical for Trumpeter kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe set includes detailed parts to assemble the seaplane silhouette, decals, and a clear, illustrated assembly manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe model does not include photo-etched or resin parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommendation and Difficulty Level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Trumpeter 03449 HMS WALRUS 1\/700 is an ideal choice for modelers interested in naval subjects and collectors of the British fleet from World War II.
