1/700 Scale HMS Dorsetshire Naval Kit Overview

The Aoshima 05266 replicates HMS Dorsetshire in a compact 1/700 scale, reflecting the cruiser that saw action during the Indian Ocean Raid. This kit provides the parts and layout needed to assemble a historically styled model ship.

Precision Moulding and Assembly Focus

Components are moulded to represent the Dorsetshire's hull form and superstructure, allowing builders to focus on neat joins and realistic finishes. The kit rewards careful construction and attention to small details.

Suitable for Display Cases and Dioramas

Finished models display well in cases or as part of a fleet diorama. The size makes it simple to include multiple vessels in a single scene while keeping each ship recognisable.

  • Scale: 1/700
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Unassembled Kit
  • Paint and Decals: Not included
Adding rigging, photo-etched brass parts or aftermarket details can lift the realism, but these upgrades need precise skills and tools.
Use plastic cement for strong, clean joints; cyanoacrylate (super glue) is useful for small parts or quick fixes, applied sparingly.
Yes, with careful base work and painting the hull to a waterline finish, the kit can join other ships in a waterline-style diorama.
