HMS Prince of Wales (R09) is one of the Royal Navy's largest and most advanced aircraft carriers, built to support global carrier strike and expeditionary operations. Featuring a massive flight deck and modern naval aviation systems, the vessel represents the centerpiece of the United Kingdom's modern naval power.
This 30-inch handcrafted model is meticulously built using the traditional plank-on-frame method and premium-grade woods, including Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany.
