1/350 Scale Ships
The 1/350 scale is one of the most popular and widely supported scales in naval modeling, striking an ideal balance between display size and fine detail. Kits in this scale are well-suited for modelers who want to capture the full presence of a warship, submarine, or naval vessel without requiring an enormous display footprint.

What Is 1/350 Scale?
In 1/350 scale, every inch of the model represents 350 inches of the real vessel. This ratio produces models that are large enough to showcase intricate surface detail — deck planking, gun turrets, rigging, and hull plating — while remaining manageable for home workshops and display cases. The scale has become a standard for serious naval modelers worldwide, supported by a broad range of manufacturers and aftermarket detail sets.
Types of Naval Vessels Available in 1/350
The 1/350 category spans a wide range of vessel types across multiple eras and navies. Modelers can explore battleships, aircraft carriers, destroyers, cruisers, submarines, and auxiliary vessels from World War I, World War II, the Cold War era, and modern fleets. Subject matter ranges from iconic capital ships to lesser-known but historically significant vessels, giving builders of all interests a rich catalog to draw from.
Manufacturers in the 1/350 Category
The 1/350 scale is supported by manufacturers from Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, Ukraine, Russia, and beyond. Established names such as Academy, AFV Club, and Trumpeter have built extensive 1/350 lineups, while newer manufacturers continue to raise the bar for molding quality and engineering.

Skill Levels and Build Complexity
1/350 ship kits range from straightforward weekend builds to highly complex multi-session projects with hundreds of parts. Many kits include photo-etched detail sets, turned brass barrels, or pre-colored parts to enhance realism. Beginners can find approachable entry points, while experienced modelers will find plenty of advanced subjects and engineering challenges to keep them engaged across the full range of manufacturers.
