HMS Dorsetshire

By a simple twist of fate (thank you Bob Dylan) "Model Boats" magazine that came in today's post has a news item about a book "County Class Cruisers" from Pen and Sword. Release date 30 June 2026
ISBN 9781036157043

Usual disclaimer, I've bought a few books from them and they've all been good.

Norm,
Two possible sources. British Cruisers, Two World Wars and After, by Norman Friedman

The first has a profile plan circa 1942 immediately prior to her loss and a photo, same time period, again a profile.
The second has a three photos of her in different time frames, including an aerial circa 1941.
If can can not access these, I can try to scan them and send them to you.

HMS Dorsetshire

I am building a 1/16" to the inch scale waterline model of HMS Dorsetshire and am having problems with info abaft the third funnel to X turret. There were several ships in the same class but very different in major detail. I have been tempted to complete her as a generic heavy cruiser but would not be happy with result. I need good clear airial images taken from the quarter. Anyone any ideas? I have scoured the internet. RN Portsmouth museum has nothing, War Museum same
