Trumpeter 06735 HMS Kent 1/700

Trumpeter 06735 HMS Kent in 1/700 scale is a unique offering for modelers who value historical accuracy and details. The model represents the heavy cruiser HMS Kent, a Royal Navy vessel and a subtype of the first County-class cruiser series. The ship was launched in 1928 and was actively used by the British Navy during key operations of World War II.

HMS Kent made a name for itself participating in operations in the Far East, especially during actions against the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee in 1939. In the following years, it mainly served in the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, performing convoy escort roles and taking part in cover operations. The ship was torpedoed in 1940, but after a year of repairs, it returned to service and was finally withdrawn from the fleet in 1946.

• Length of the assembled model: 274.2 mm

• Hull manufactured using multi-directional slide molding technology for excellent detail reproduction

We recommend this model to both intermediate modelers and collectors who value building historically significant ships in a compact scale.
