Width: 6.4 cm (2.5 in)
Height: 9.1 cm (3.9 in)
Scale: 1:485
Total parts: 935
The price includes all the necessary LEGO® parts (in new condition) to build the model as well as the instructions, which will come in form of a PDF-file.
About the ship's history:
HNLMS Den Helder is a new replenishment oiler under construction for the Royal Netherlands Navy. Also known as the Combat Support Ship (CSS), Den Helder is planned to fill the gap of replenishment at sea that was left after HNLMS Amsterdam was sold to Peru in 2014
The sale of HNLMS Amsterdam left a gap in the navy's ability to replenish its own ships and those of allies. The HNLMS Karel Doorman was not capable enough as it was not built as a full-fledged replenishment oiler. In 2017 a study started to look at the possibility of a new tanker to fulfill this task.
In 2019 the so called D-letter, the final process before the contract can be signed, was sent to the Tweede Kamer for approval, with the contract signing following two months later on the bridge of Karel Doorman.
