1/700 Scale Waterline Model of the Dorsetshire Cruiser

The Aoshima 05269 model recreates the British Dorsetshire in precise 1/700 scale, capturing key features of the County-class cruiser. Its proportions and superstructure details make it a worthwhile addition for hobbyists focused on historic naval vessels.

Part of Aoshima's Water Line series, this kit emphasises on-hull accuracy for display rather than full-hull modelling. Builders will find clean moulding and component fit that reward careful assembly and painting.

How detailed are the small fittings on this kit?

The kit includes fine deck and superstructure parts, but small fittings may need careful trimming and precise gluing to achieve the best results.

What paint colours are recommended for authenticity?

Refer to historical references for County-class schemes; common choices include grey hull and deck tones. Pick model paints that match photos or authoritative guides.

Is glue and basic modelling gear required?

Yes, you will need plastic cement, hobby knives, fine files, and tweezers. A magnifier and steady hands help with the small-scale parts.
