This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

HMS Valiant was laid down on January 31 1913 at the Fair field ship yard in Glasgow, Scotland, and launched on November 4 1914. Valiant was commissioned in January 1916 and participated in the famous Battle of Jutland later the same year.

During the inter-war years Valiant underwent major refits and saw service in the Atlantic and with the Home Fleet in the Mediterranean. Valiant's wartime service was cut short in August 1944 following a drydock accident in Ceylon.

After the war Valiant saw use as training ship at Her Majesty's Naval Base, Devonport, and was sold for scrap in 1948.
