For lovers of ships of the dreadnought era...

There are now 2 beautiful plastic model kits available of 2 of the German capital ships...the Konig and the Grosser Kurfurst. These models are in 1/350 scale by ICM (of the Ukraine). They are very well done kits, full of fine detail. One of them is reviewed in Fine Scale Modeler's latest issue.

There's also the old Airfix 1/600 scale model of Britain's Iron Duke, Admiral Jellicoe's flagship at Jutland...not a bad kit either.

Just letting you know, in case any of you are hobbyists like myself. The world war I ships are rare in the modeling field as yet.
