Updated 2026-05-04 21:04

Here’s the latest I can gather based on recent information about Airfix HMS Iron Duke (A04210V).

Airfix released a 1/600 scale kit of HMS Iron Duke, part of the Vintage Classics/1:600 ships line. Popular sources note the kit designation A04210V and describe it as a plastic unassembled model of the WWI dreadnought flagship of the Grand Fleet.[1][5]
The Airfix community and hobby outlets highlighted Iron Duke as a notable entry in Airfix’s WWI naval line, with unboxing and build discussions circulating in late 2024 and into 2025, including video reviews and builds that emphasize its historical significance and kit accuracy for the era.[2][6][7]
Availability and retailer listings show the kit being sold by UK suppliers and hobby retailers, often marketed under the Airfix HMS Iron Duke 1/600 scale product page (A04210V) with shipping notes typical of hobby shops.[5][1]
Some hobby forums and model shop listings discuss modifications and diorama possibilities for Iron Duke, reflecting ongoing interest in kit assembly and customization among builders.[3][8]
