Flyhawk Model 1/700 HMS Invincible 1914

-The Cruiser Invincible was planned with the concept of "high-speed power is the maximum defense" advocated by Fisher of the British 1st Navy.
-This is the first cruiser battleship to be built as a battleship with the same attack power and cruiser performance.

-The hull shape is a long foreclosure type hull, and a newly designed [Mark X 30.5 cm (45 caliber) gun] is arranged from the bow to one on the bow deck, the second gun on the left and right on the port side, 3 The guns were staggered and placed, with one on the rear deck, for a total of eight units.
-By arranging the 2nd and 3rd main guns arranged on the port side left and right in a staggered manner, it is possible to fire all main guns in the left and right directions.
-The importance of the speed, which is the concept of cruiser battleships, makes it difficult for the battle of the same class cruiser to have a defensive ability.

-Invincible participates in the Battle of Jutland during World War I as a squadron flagship of the 3rd Cruiser Squadron.
-During the Battle of Jutland, it was the final stage of the battle with the German Navy [Derflinger] and [Lutzow], and the 30.5cm shell was penetrated by the main turret on the starboard side and hit by the ammunition detonation.
