Below are listed just some of the many publications with significant information on ‘County’ class cruisers. All of them include photographs of the ships and these are worth close study if an accurate model of a particular vessel at a specific time in her career is to be produced. Many of them also include drawings of the vessels, unfortunately often only at small scales but again these are worth close study. The Profile Morskie series of books do include larger scale detailed drawings and camouflage patterns but concern has been expressed at the absolute accuracy of the information contained in them and, as always, it is worth checking with dated photographs to confirm details.
