Aoshima 06739 - 1/700 scale representation of HMS Kent

The Aoshima 06739 reproduces the British Heavy Cruiser Kent at 1/700 scale, offering fine plastic detail and a faithful outline of the original warship. It is appropriate for collectors and modellers with an interest in naval history.

Ship background and class attributes

HMS Kent was a County-class heavy cruiser, recognised for its armament layout and hull form. The model focuses on those class-specific elements to give an accurate small-scale depiction.

Modelling considerations and display outcome

Construction requires careful glueing and neat finishing to reach the best results. A well-painted and weathered Kent is an attractive cabinet piece that conveys the character of early 20th century warship design.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic parts
  • Assembly: Glue assembly needed
  • Paint: Use paints to enhance realism
Build time depends on experience and detail level. Expect several evenings for assembly and additional time for painting and weathering to achieve a polished finish.
Use period photographs and naval references to match paint schemes. Many modellers consult reference books or online archives to select historically accurate colours.
Keep the model dust-free by occasional gentle cleaning with a soft brush and avoid prolonged exposure to bright light to preserve paint tones.
