Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of a ship model from the maker Trumpeter. The 1:700 scale is the most widespread collector's standard for ships, so a finished cruiser goes well with other models of the same scale in a shared display case and does not take up much room while doing so. Whether the hull is divided into a full-hull variant and a waterline version is stated on the box.
HMS Cornwall was a Royal Navy heavy cruiser of interwar design, that is a type of ship built as a fast unit with great range, a strong main gun armament and only limited armor. Its characteristic silhouette is formed by a high freeboard, three funnels and the main-caliber turrets distributed both forward and aft. In the course of their service ships of this generation went through modifications of armament and superstructure, so check on the box the particular state the kit captures.
With ships in 1:700 the cleanness of the work decides more than the number of parts. Glue the hull and sand the joint carefully at the keel and at the bow, because it will give itself away on a smooth surface. Paint the deck separately from the sides and only then complete the superstructures, otherwise masking is very difficult. Glue the superstructures and masts with thin plastic cement in small steps and let them cure, as small parts are easily knocked out of line. The model is markedly lifted by adding photo-etched railings and ladders. For color, go for gray shades, pick out the surfaces with a dry brush along the edges and let a wash run to the feet of the superstructures and into the deck recesses. Finally seat the model on a stand or on a water base.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
