The SMS Szent István was a Tegetthoff-class dreadnought battleship of the Austro-Hungarian Navy and the world's first battleship to feature triple gun turrets. Armed with powerful Skoda-built 305mm main guns, she was a formidable warship upon her entry into service in 1914. Due to the geographical limitations of the Adriatic Sea during World War I, the Szent István and her sister ships saw limited action and were mostly confined to port. Her career came to an abrupt end on 10 June 1918, when she was sunk by an Italian motor torpedo boat while attempting to break the Otranto Barrage.

This 1:350 scale kit from Trumpeter is a large and highly detailed model of this historic battleship. This is a comprehensive project for experienced naval modellers, comprising over 570 parts on 12 sprues. The kit features a finely rendered wood deck pattern, a multi-part hull, three photo-etched frets for super-detailing, and a display stand to create an impressive centrepiece for any collection.
