Scale model kit Mirage Model Kit ORP 'Grom' wz.38 Polish destroyer II 1:700

Plastic scale model kit of the Polish destroyer ORP 'Grom' wz.38 in 1:700 scale by Mirage. The kit includes injection-moulded plastic parts to assemble a faithful miniature of the wz.38 destroyer class, designed for hobbyists and model builders who want a compact, display-ready replica. Parts are sized and detailed for painting and finishing, allowing construction of a historically inspired vessel suitable for dioramas, collections, or shelf display.

Advantages

The kit provides finely moulded components optimized for 1:700 scale, enabling accurate proportions and a compact final model. Parts are arranged on sprues for straightforward removal and assembly with standard modelling tools and adhesives. Suitable levels of surface detail make it practical to paint and weather for realistic finishing, while the compact scale keeps build time and display footprint manageable for collectors and hobbyists with limited space.

How to use

Carefully remove parts from the sprues using a hobby knife or sprue cutter, then clean any flash or mould lines with a file or fine sandpaper. Test-fit pieces before applying model glue to ensure correct alignment. Follow the provided assembly sequence or reference photos for proper placement of small fittings. Prime the assembled hull and superstructure before painting to achieve consistent adhesion and finish. Use fine brushes or airbrush for detailed painting, and apply decals or weathering effects after the base coats have fully dried.

Usage recommendations

Work in a well-ventilated area and use appropriate adhesives, paints and respirators as recommended by the materials’ manufacturers. Allow sufficient drying time between assembly and painting steps to avoid stress on glued joints and to achieve the best surface finish.
