IBG 70010 HMS Harvester 1943 British H-class destroyer 1/700

HMS Harvester (H19) is a British H-class destroyer, produced as part of Royal Navy orders just before the outbreak of World War II. This model, offered by the renowned manufacturer IBG Models under catalogue number 70010, faithfully replicates the appearance of the vessel in its 1943 configuration, providing modelers with not only detail but also historical authenticity.

The 1/700 scale allows for precise reproduction of all essential details on a relatively small surface, making this model an ideal addition to the collections of naval enthusiasts and modelers interested in the Allied fleets of World War II. British H-class destroyers participated in many key naval operations, including actions in the Atlantic, convoy escorts, and sea battles, where HMS Harvester distinguished itself in convoy service, supporting the Allies in combat against German U-Boats. The vessel entered service in 1940, with its main period of operation spanning 1940–1943 (during World War II).

The kit does not include glue or paints, allowing the modeler to select accessories and paints individually in accordance with the actual Royal Navy color scheme from 1943.
