H.M.S Beaver Fittings
H.M.S Beaver fittings for a 1/96 scale model of the stretched Type 22 British frigate.
H.M.S Beaver was the second of the stretched Type 22 class of modern British frigates. In her day, the Type 22 was considered one of the most advanced British frigate designs, combining sophisticated missile systems, naval guns, torpedoes and helicopter capability.
H.M.S Beaver was fitted with Seawolf and Exocet missile systems, 40 mm Bofors guns and STWS equipment, and was capable of operating a Lynx helicopter.
Sirmar produces a detailed range of H.M.S Beaver fittings for the 1/96 scale model, covering the ship’s weapons, radar systems, helicopter equipment, boats, deck fittings and smaller details.
