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
https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Shipcraft-19-County-Class-Cruisers/p/61508
Usual disclaimer, I've bought a few books from them and they've all been good.

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
