About 1/700 Scale Naval Modeling
At 1/700 scale, a 200-meter warship renders at roughly 28 centimeters — compact enough for display cases yet large enough to support fine surface detail, rigging, and photo-etch enhancements. The scale has a long history in the hobby and is supported by a wide range of manufacturers worldwide. Subjects span WWII-era battleships and destroyers through modern naval vessels, giving builders an enormous variety of historical periods to explore.
1/700 Scale Ship Model Kits
Our 1/700 Scale Ships category organizes kits by manufacturer, making it straightforward to browse by brand. The range covers warships from multiple navies and eras, with options suited to beginners building their first kit as well as experienced modelers seeking complex, multi-part subjects. Manufacturers such as Tamiya, Hasegawa, Flyhawk, and Trumpeter are well-known names in this scale, alongside many other producers from around the world.
1/700 Scale Ship Accessories & Detail Parts
Detail accessories are what elevate a 1/700 build from a standard kit to a museum-quality display piece. Our 1/700 Scale Ship Accessories category covers the full range of aftermarket enhancement options available for this scale. Photo-etch railings, brass turned barrels, waterslide decals, and resin detail sets are among the types of accessories that modelers use to refine and personalize their builds.
Choosing the Right Scale for Naval Modeling
While 1/700 is the dominant scale for naval subjects, hobbyists also work in 1/350 and 1/200 for larger, more detailed builds. If you are exploring other scales or subject categories, visit the MPM Hobbies Store Menu to navigate the full catalog by scale and subject type.
