War Plan Orange ship models

Post by Tankerace »

Was browsing Pacific Front Hobbies tonight, and I found a ton of WWI and RJW ship models, most of which are represented in War Plan Orange. To give an idea of what some are:

In their Resin Kits, Combatsub/Seawolf collection, they have 1/350 models of the British M class sub (with a 12" gun) and a K class WWI sub, both in WPO.

In their Sealsmodel Plastic kit section, they have 1/350 models of the Mikasa, Idzuma, Iwate, Asama, and Tokiwa, all of which are in WPO.

In the Imperial Hobbies Production 1:7-- Resin or Mixed media line, they have 1/700 models of the South Dakota, British G3, and US Lexington class, all in WPO.

In their Kobo Hiryu Resin Kits section, they have 1:/700 models of the battlecruiser Ibuki and Kurama (classes as BBs in WPO). The Ibuki is done as in 1909, the Kurama as in 1920.

In the Modelkrak Resin Kits, they have 1/700 models of several cruisers, battleships, and gunboats from the Russo Japanese war, may of which are in WPO. They also have models of the cruisers Chester, Columbia, and Milwaukee, as they appeared just before WWI.

The Combrig Resin Kits have 1:/350 models of the RJW era Kasuga and Nisshin and 1/700 kits of Dreadnought and Tiger. Pretty cool, and all in WPO.

The H-P Models Resin Kits 1/700 kits have models of HMS Dreadnought, separate models for each of the 4 Iron Dukes, the M class sub, All three Invincible class battlecruisers, K class sub, light cruisers Chester and Birkenhead, later Kiwi cruisers Danae and Durban, and a host of WW2 ships. Very cool to check out if you want detailed Brit ships (all these classes and ships are in WPO.) The also have models of almost every class of German dreadnought and battlecruiser, complete with WW1 Uboats and TBDs.

The Joe-World Resin Kits has a 1/700 scale model of Kongo in 1917. With a bit of work, could probably resemble the other 3 as well.

The Loose Cannon Resin Kits has a 1/700 HMS Furious in 1918.

And Finally, the YS Masterpieces Resin Kits has a 1/350 cruiser Brooklyn, and battleship Oregon, and while Not of WPO fame, the Greek armoured cruiser Georges Averoff.

One of their product lines also has a Momo tin can from the 1920s. Just thought Id pass this along, after all, some of these kits are probably rare.
