The description below is taken from the Airfix catalogue this kit was first seen in. There is also extra information underneath the main catalogues description including the changes to the name of this kit in the catalogues.

Proudly bearing the greatest name in naval history, the battleship H.M.S. "Nelson" is accurately reproduced by Airfix in this 134 part kit. The 14 inch deck of this fine model is packed with authentic detail. The nine 16 inch guns, twelve 6 inch guns, all on rotating turrets, the Anti-Aircraft Guns, Whalers, Cutters and Launchers, even the carefully moulded anchor chains on the forward deck, they are all there plus a lot more to make this famous battleship a worthy addition to any collection. The H.M.S. "Nelson" was completed in 1927 and was one of the few pre-war Capital ships to remain in service until 1945. - Taken from the 1st edition catalogue (1962)
