Armed with the distinctive twin 5.25-inch dual-purpose guns shared with the King George V–class battleships, these cruisers embodied Britain’s urgent wartime need for ships capable of engaging both aircraft and surface threats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScylla’s wartime service was both active and hard-fought. She escorted Arctic convoys to the Soviet Union, screened Allied forces in the Mediterranean, and played a visible role in the Normandy landings in June 1944, where her guns supported troops ashore during Operation Neptune. Her career was cut short later that year when she struck a mine in the English Channel—an abrupt end that underscores the constant hazards faced by even well-escorted warships in contested waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 1:350\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 445.7mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeam: 46.1mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Parts: 520+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Parts: anchor chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoto Etched Parts: 8 pcs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Sprues: 12 sprues, decks and hull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHull made from two-directional slide molds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeck wood pattern finely rendered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains display stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter Scale Models","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53212773122261,"sku":"TRP5368","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/trumpeter-scale-models-5368-1-350-hms-scylla-british-dido-class-light-cruiser-plastic-model-kit.jpg?v=1771347864","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/trumpeter-scale-models-5368-1-350-hms-scylla-british-dido-class-light-cruiser-plastic-model-kit","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
