Dad was on HMS Dido during WW2

I have seen many mentions of 1/200 and 1/350 full kits but for the life of me, no mentions of suppliers.can be found r
Whilst the room can be found for the 1/96 version, i dont fancy scratch building a lot of it, would rather stick it all together!
I don't mind getting another of the class and doing the necessary alterations
Anyone got any leads?

A quick look on scalemates https://www.scalemates.com/topics/topic.php?id=297...

Doesn't look promising unless you want to go down to 1:700 scale.

Unfortunately there is a distinct lack of RN cruisers in 1/350 (or bigger) scale.

Trumpeter released HMS Exeter last year, and have announced their intention to do 'Kent' and 'Cornwall' of the County class, but when they might appear is anyone's guess.

1/700 scale have much more 'coverage' when it comes to available models, but as you say, they are very small.
