Which WWI battleships and heavy cruisers are currently available in 1:350 scale? Would the Arizona be considered WWI vintage?

Sandbox,
Arizona commisioned 17 October 1916. As to WW1 ship models what scale are you contemplating?
tom

Sorry! 1/350 scale I'll get back to you. Should read all the post shouldn't I.

Sandbox,
try www.modelshipgallery.com you'll have to scroll through them until you find a likely suspect but there are quite a few WW1 warships in there good luck

I am not confining my interest to just US. British, German or other naval powers of the time period. If close scales (1:400) are more popular that would be too.

The Arizonza while built in 1916 is depicted in her Pearl Harbor (final configuration). The ONLY large scale WW 1 warships are the 3 Konig class BB's made by ICM. I don't think anybody makes anything in 1/700. There may be some resin stuff out there but it'll cost in the vicinity of $300 - $500 a shot.

There does not seem to be much available in any scale for WWI ships. Or I am not looking hard enough? Checked through modelshipgallery and did not see anything there. Is this an era that has been ignored? Or just unpopular?

Ship modeling is something most of us do for fun. There are a few fanatics out there but compared to airplane and car builders a drop in the bucket. Even we tank builders are almost just a fringe. Go to a model show and see all the myriad of aircraft categories then look at how many armor categories and finally how many ship. Ships are just too big to model, when they make them small enough (700 or 1200 ) you lose most of the detail. You want WW 1 ships there are several companies that make them in metal at 1200 scale. Alnavco comes to mind as well as GHQ I know it is real popular in Europe. The prices for these little ones will rock you on your heels as they usually run as much as some of the Big 350 scale stuff. Model companies are only going to make what sells. That's why only Famous ships make it to 350

Jefferey, try this link for a list of available WW-1 warship kits available.

These are all the available WW-1 kits that have been made. I just brought this same subject up yesterday on another warship forum. By the way, ICM is coming out with a 1/350 WW-1 Battleship Germany's Markgraf. Should be a dandy!

steelnavy.com has reviews and build ups of all sorts of pre-WWI and WWI ships if you are interested in stuff that came a bit before the great war. they are almost all resin though.

Steel Navy and Model Warships websites have a lot of WW1 kits, but most are 1/700 resin kits.

Well as luck would have it, I walked into a local hobby shop and saw an old ICM kit on the shelf. Box was dented but was labeled as all parts included. And it was discounted about 20%. Too good to pass up and now it is in my inventory. Not sure when I will start it. There was also a kit of HMS Tiger. Was this ship also of the WWI era?

HMS Tiger was a british battlecrusier built around 1914 so the answer is a definite yes. She along with the HMS Lion were nicknamed "the splendid cats". Is there a 350 scale kit of this beauty out there?

there is a kit of H.M.S. Tiger by a Russian or Ukranian company it may be 1/400 not sure.but its a cruiser laid down 1 oct 1941 launched 25 oct 1945 completed18 mar 1959 and i think it was scrapped in the early seventies.how's that for a bargain?British taxpayers always get hammered.
