Here is another of  our Falklands 40th Anniversary tribute range. This is a detailed brand new hand made metal waterline model of HMS Sheffield D90,  a Type 42 Batch One Sheffield Class Guided Missile Destroyer. She was 4820 tons and armed with a 4.5inch gun, Sea Dart, Torpedoes and a Lynx helicopter. She was 410ft or 125metres in length. There were 270 crew. Our model includes her “unique in class” funnel.

On 4th May HMS Sheffield was severely damaged by an Exocet missile causing 20 deaths and 26 were badly injured. Major systems were destroyed and she sank under tow on 10th May 1982. She is a war grave on the sea bed. Our model is part of our commemoration of the 40th Anniversary of the Falklands Conflict.  Consequently we have included her pennant number as well as the Union Flag and black line for ID. We know that pennant numbers were painted over at this time but think that this is a better model and memorial. 

The model is about 100mms or 4inches in length.  Made of metal from CNCollectables and in a good box. Catalogue ref N61-90
