About the Ship:
The ANZAC class is based on the German MEKO 200 design and entered Royal Australian Navy service from the mid-1990s. The class was developed as a general-purpose frigate for anti-surface, anti-air and anti-submarine operations.
The Anti-Ship Missile Defence (ASMD) upgrade substantially altered the appearance and combat capability of the Australian ships, including new masts and the locally developed CEAFAR and CEAMOUNT phased-array radar systems.
Dodo Models’ 1/700 multimedia kit represents the post-ASMD configuration and was one of a very small run of only 200 numbered kits, making it a particularly scarce subject for collectors of modern Royal Australian Navy vessels.
