HMS Warspite Model Ship

Description

The HMS Warspite

The HMS Warspite was a Queen Elizebeth-class battleship, belonging to the British Royal Navy. Launched on 26 November 1913 at Devonport Royal Dockyard, the Warspite was nicknamed “the Grand Old Lady” by Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham, a name which gained popularity amongst her crew.

The Elizebeth-class battleships were conceived and brought to life by Admiral Sir John ‘Jackie’ Fisher and Winston S. Churchill. Both men played a vital role in taking the battleships from the drawing board to the sea. The HMS Warspite was first commissioned in 1915, under the lead of Captain Edward Montgomery Phillpotts. The Warspite became part of the 2nd Battle Squadron of the Grand Fleet, after undergoing several trials. During one of those trials she fired her 15-inch guns, and impressed Churchill, with her strength and accuracy.

The HMS Warspite Model Ship

The HMS Warspite model ship is constructed with the ultimate amount of care and precision. Information regarding her design is collected through photographs and original blueprints. A team of master craftsmen then works diligently to ensure this model is an exact replica of the original. The model has been constructed from high-quality wood, which has been sealed and varnished. The HMS Warspite model would make a beautiful addition to any home or office.

After a Dutch company told me they were no longer taking orders, a Chinese company did not respond and an American one did not offer the desired finish, I ended up at Premier Ship Models in January 2024. I opted for a premium finish from 6-8 months for the build of a 1990 Hinkley Sou'wester. With nothing more than a top view and a side view and a lot of photos they got to work. 9 times I got an update with photos to assess the progress and make comments. I happily made a photo album of this. I asked for quite a few corrections, which were all carried out. The only downside was a huge underestimation of the shipping costs. But the ship was very well packed and delivered in September. The sailing ship had suffered a bit on the journey, but I was able to repair that easily, except for the downhaul - it was too simple and would break off again immediately. I left that out (it would still be nice to receive a "real life" version). The correspondence was very good, my sincere thanks to the team for the great job!

The first time I used Premier Ship Models was for a kit of the Batavia, this year. (2024). I was so happy with the service that when I was looking at getting the 'ghost ship' The Flying Dutchman, I checked around online and was extremely pleased to find they had it. Not only that but they were cheaper than other model ship kit suppliers I have used in the past. And again, on top of that it only took 8 days to get from placing the order in the UK to having FedEx deliver it on my doorstep in Western Australia. To put that into perspective, I am still awaiting delivery via Australia Post for some parts from Sydney NSW, three separate orders placed 15 days ago.... Extremely satisfied and would recommend them to anyone.

Premier Ship Models did a great job of finding the kit I was after, an Aeronaut Pilot boat. Once found, it shipped quickly, but was held up in customs. Premier reached out to me and customs, and I received the kit a few days later. Premier is now one of my go-tos for European and Asian rc ship models.

Best place for your model needs without a doubt. I had a little trouble with an order (not Premier's fault) and I couldn't have asked for better support. Whenever I needed an answer or had a question the people at Premier responded usually within 24 hrs. They never left me waiting for an answer. Best business I have seen for customer service.
