HMS Kent

HMS Kent was a Monmouth class armoured cruiser built for the Royal Navy at the turn of the last century. Armed with fourteen 6-inch guns she took part in the Battle of the Falkland Islands in 1914, pursuing the German cruiser SMS Nurnberg in the South Atlantic before sinking the enemy ship.

The model is entirely scratch-built to 1/96 scale and represents the real vessel just as she entered service with the Royal Navy, not long after she was repainted in the newer 'standard' Admiralty Grey that all warships were painted with post 1905.
