Complete H.M.S Plymouth Model Fittings
The four H.M.S Plymouth fittings packs provide a comprehensive collection of components for detailing the 1/96 scale model.
The range includes the main 4.5″ gun, Sea Cat system, 20 mm Oerlikons, Corvus launchers, radar and directors, as well as the boats, sonar equipment and smaller deck fittings.
The fittings also include the many details that can be easy to overlook when building a scale warship, including bollards, fairleads, capstans, doors, lockers, lights, loudspeakers, life rings and other deck equipment.
Using dedicated fittings packs makes it easier to source the parts required for the model rather than having to find individual components from multiple suppliers.
H.M.S Plymouth Type 12 Rothsay Class Model
H.M.S Plymouth was a Type 12 Rothsay Class frigate, making her an interesting subject for anyone interested in Royal Navy model warships.
The Type 12 design was developed from the earlier Whitby Class and was intended primarily for anti-submarine warfare. The Rothsay Class incorporated improvements to the design while retaining the distinctive appearance associated with the Type 12 frigates.
For model builders, the class provides plenty of opportunities for detailed work, with the ship’s weapons, radar, boats and deck equipment all contributing to the appearance of the finished model.

Building a 1/96 Scale H.M.S Plymouth
At 48 inches long and 5.5 inches beam, the H.M.S Plymouth model is large enough to accommodate a considerable amount of detail.
The 1/96 scale also makes it possible to reproduce many of the ship’s smaller features without them becoming impractically small for the builder to work with.
The four dedicated fittings packs have been arranged to cover different areas of the model, allowing builders to progress through their project while sourcing the components they need.
If you are using the glass fibre hull and plans manufactured by Scalewarships, these dedicated fittings packs provide the associated scale components for detailing the model.
H.M.S Plymouth Fittings for Model Ship Builders
Whether you are building H.M.S Plymouth from a new hull or restoring an existing model, accurate fittings can make a significant difference to the finished ship.
The larger features establish the overall appearance of the model, but the smaller components such as fairleads, bollards, doors, lights, lockers and deck equipment add the level of detail that makes a scale warship convincing.
Sirmar produces model warship fittings for a range of Royal Navy vessels and scales, with dedicated fittings packs available for a number of individual ships.
