Vee Hobby 1/700 Ship Model Kits

Build a U.S. Navy fleet in a consistent scale with Vee Hobby 1/700 plastic ship model kits. Choose from Iowa- and South Dakota-class battleships, light cruisers such as San Diego and Cleveland, and the USS Independence light carrier. The range includes World War II subjects and postwar ships such as USS Worcester, so you can build a fleet around an era or compare how naval designs changed over time.

Find the right ship and configuration

Browse Vee Hobby battleships, Vee Hobby cruisers, Vee Hobby aircraft carriers. Look for the hull number and configuration year where listed. Missouri BB-63 and New Jersey BB-62 share a class, but their details and paint schemes depend on the ship and the period. Use photos from the year you want to model before committing to deck colors, camouflage or rigging.

Standard and Deluxe editions

Compare the exact SKU and contents for each release. Standard editions are a starting point if you want to choose your own detail upgrades. Deluxe editions are intended for builders looking for a more involved detail project, but the included parts vary by ship. Review each listing and its box contents before ordering aftermarket accessories.

Plan a fleet display

At 1/700, you can place a battleship, cruiser and carrier side by side and see how their hull proportions and deck layouts differ. Dry-fit large assemblies first, decide where to break up the paint work, and leave small fittings until the main finish is in place.
