Aoshima 06739 - Scale 1/700 HMS Kent cruiser kit

The Aoshima 06739 set reproduces the British Heavy Cruiser Kent at 1/700 scale with tidy moulding and period-accurate features. It is aimed at hobbyists who appreciate faithful miniature representations of classic warships.

Service history and hull form

HMS Kent was one of the County-class cruisers, recognised for its robust hull and armament layout. This model emphasises the vessel's deck plan and superstructure to reflect the ship's wartime appearance.

Build approach and presentation tips

Assembly involves small components and careful glue work, making the kit rewarding for builders who like detailed finishing. Once complete, the model displays well on a shelf or diorama base, showing off its naval proportions.

Specifications

  • Scale - 1/700
  • Material - Plastic
  • Assembly - Requires adhesive
  • Paint - Advisable for realism
Recommended for intermediate modellers. The small scale increases the need for steady hands and fine tools, but the overall assembly is straightforward for those with some experience.
Check the kit contents for decal sheets. Apply decals over a gloss base, use decal setting solution if needed, and seal with a clear coat once dry.
A slim plinth or shallow diorama base suits a 1/700 cruiser. Keep the base low-profile to maintain scale realism and spotlight the ship's silhouette.
