This is the HP Models resin kit of the British Battle Class group III destroyer HMS ARGINCOURT in 1947.

HMS Argincourt (D86) was a 1943 Battle-class fleet destroyer of the Royal Navy. She was named in honour of the Battle of Agincourt, fought in 1415 during the Hundred Years' War. Agincourt was launched on 29 January 1945 and commissioned on 25 June 1947.

In 1953 she took part in the Fleet Review to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In 1954 Agincourt, along with the rest of the squadron, formerly flotilla, deployed to the Mediterranean. The squadron and Agincourt returned home in 1955. In 1956 Agincourt she formed part of the Royal Navy force which took part in the Suez Crisis. In 1957, Agincourt, and the 4th Destroyer Squadron, returned to the Mediterranean.
