1/700 Scale Ship Accessories
1/700 scale ship accessories are the finishing touches that transform a plastic kit into a compelling, detailed model. From photo-etch railings and brass gun barrels to waterslide decals and resin detail parts, this category covers the full spectrum of aftermarket upgrades available for warship and naval vessel builds at this popular scale.
Photo-Etch Detail Sets
Photo-etched brass and stainless steel sets are among the most impactful upgrades a modeler can add to a 1/700 warship build. These ultra-thin metal parts replace molded plastic railings, ladders, catapults, and rigging with crisp, scale-accurate detail. Manufacturers specializing in photo-etch for this scale produce sets tailored to specific ship classes, making it straightforward to find the right upgrade for your kit. Browse the Flyhawk Models, Gold Medal Models, and KA Models collections to explore photo-etch options by brand.
Brass Barrels & Turned Metal Parts
Turned brass gun barrels and aerials replace the soft plastic equivalents included in most kits, delivering sharper profiles and more accurate proportions. These precision-machined parts are produced by specialist manufacturers and are available for a wide range of warship classes across multiple navies. The Master Model collection is a strong starting point for turned metal accessories. Visit the official Master Model website for their full catalog.
Decals for 1/700 Warships
Waterslide decal sheets for 1/700 scale ships cover national markings, hull numbers, pennant numbers, and aircraft markings for vessels from the U.S. Navy, Royal Navy, Imperial Japanese Navy, and other fleets. Specialty decal producers offer sheets that go well beyond what is included in the kit box, enabling accurate representation of specific vessels and periods.

Ordnance, Aircraft & Weapons Sets
Ordnance and aircraft accessory sets add operational realism to flight deck and deck-mounted weapon scenes. These sets typically include bombs, torpedoes, depth charges, carrier aircraft, and associated ground equipment at 1/700 scale. They are widely used to populate dioramas and enhance the visual storytelling of a completed build. Browse the Hasegawa Ship Accessories collection for a broad selection, and visit the Hasegawa website for their complete lineup.
Resin & Mixed-Media Accessories
Resin accessories and mixed-media sets offer detail and texture that photo-etch and injection-molded plastic cannot replicate. Common resin accessories include anchor chains, life rafts, crew figures, and hull fittings. Wooden deck sets provide a natural grain texture that enhances the appearance of ship decking at this scale. Explore brands such as Above & Below, Artwox, Black Cat, Five Star Models, Veteran Models, and Veryfire for resin and mixed-media options.

A wide range of additional manufacturers contribute to the 1/700 ship accessories category, each with their own specialties and kit compatibility.
