Hi all, new to the forum and hope to post pix of my current project

I am currently building The Bismarck from Hachette 1:200, which is coming along nicely.

However to go with this I would like to try and find other 1:200 models, like the HMS Duke of York, USS Missouri, HMS King George V or HMS Hood.

Any suggestions would be welcome and I hope to hear from you.

Regards

Try to search polish cardboard models... Prince of Wales for example from GPM or others... real nice and very high quality models, some of them with laser cut details...

Arkmodels offers both Missouri & Hood in 1/200. Both are designed for RC & made of FRP/resin/brass.

I live in Hangzhou, China & have seen both models in person. They're well detailed & worth what you'll pay for a premium fiberglass model.

Ray,
Be sure to check out the Trumpeter 1/200 Sovremenny Russian Destroyer. I just finished mine, and at 2 1/2 feet in length it is a really stunning build. Comes with PE parts, including enough railing to do the decks and entire superstructure. 841 parts, took me about 200 hours, and very reasonably priced online. I got mine off ebay for $80.

Here's a review:
