Aoshima 06739 - 1/700 HMS Kent detailed scale model

This Aoshima 06739 kit recreates the British Heavy Cruiser Kent in 1/700 scale with careful attention to the ship's lines and fittings. The parts are designed to satisfy modellers who value historical accuracy and crisp plastic detail.

Background and ship design highlights

The original Kent belonged to the County-class cruisers, noted for their heavy armament and service in major naval operations. This kit reflects the ship's characteristic silhouette and deck arrangement, making it a convincing small-scale representation.

Assembly notes and display potential

Tackling this model will reward builders who enjoy fine work and patience. The kit requires careful gluing and painting, and once finished the Kent makes an impressive display piece that showcases early 20th century naval engineering.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Injection plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Recommended to bring out detail
This kit is suited to modellers with some prior experience. Parts are small and need precise handling, so basic modelling skills and patience are recommended.
Use a fine-tipped liquid plastic cement or CA glue for small fittings, plus tweezers, hobby knives, and fine files to clean parts before assembly.
Many builders paint subassemblies before final installation to reach recessed areas easily. Test-fit parts first, then paint sections as needed to retain crisp joins.
