THIS WAS A LIMITED EDITION KIT !! HMS GARLAND 1936 - 1940 (ORP GARLAND 1940-1946) (HNLMS MARNIX 1946-1964) HMS Garland, also known by her Polish designation ORP Garland, was a G-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1930s. During the Spanish Civil War of 1936–1939 she spent considerable time in Spanish waters enforcing the arms blockade imposed by Britain and France on both sides of the conflict. Shortly after WWII began, she was badly damaged by the premature explosion of her own depth charges and required over six months of repairs. Before these were completed, Garland was loaned to the Polish Navy in May 1940. She was assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet afterwards and escorted convoys there before being assigned to the Western Approaches Command in September for escort duties. She escorted a convoy from Gibraltar to Malta during Operation Halberd in September 1941 and escorted Convoy PQ-16 from Iceland to Murmansk in May 1942. She was badly damaged by a near miss from a German bomber during that operation and required three months of repairs. Garland was then assigned to the Mid-Ocean Escort Force in the North Atlantic until December 1943, when she was transferred to Freetown, Sierra Leone to escort convoys off West Africa. In April 1944 she was transferred back to the Mediterranean Fleet where she escorted convoys. read more
