Hi Jason,
There are two Profile Morskie books on both the Sydney,and Perth.I have the one on the Perth,and I can recommend it,She is one of my future builds in 350th.As for the Leander class ,they also do the Ajax,as she appeared after repairs following the River Plate battle,again i can recommend it.
Good luck mate Phil

Hey Jason!

I did an Ajax/Achilles build for a project using the Lee Aurora as a basis, but opted to scratchbuild the hull as the knuckle on the kit's bow is way too soft and the stern is too slender for a Leander--not to mention the longer hull to accommodate the fourth turret.

what about a hms-hmas shropshire?

Excellent subject, although beyond 1:700 scale, she's a scratchbuild. BTW, there are pics of Shropshire with a bent funnel from her kamikaze hit in the Philippine campaign. That would be an interesting depiction.
