Vee Hobby 1/700 Battleship Model Kits

Build a fast U.S. Navy battleship in 1/700 scale with Vee Hobby kits of USS Iowa, New Jersey, Missouri, South Dakota and Indiana. These are unassembled plastic model kits for builders interested in World War II naval subjects and same-scale fleet displays.

Iowa class and South Dakota class

The long Iowa-class hull has a different profile from the more compact South Dakota class. Build two ships side by side to compare their proportions, or pick a single ship and pair it with a cruiser for a display focused on the Pacific War. Check the hull number and year in each listing before using a period photograph as a finishing reference.

Dry-fit the deck before finishing

Check the hull, deck, bridge and main battery locations together before committing to glue. Painting the larger sections separately can make deck edges and the areas under the upper platforms easier to reach. If you choose a Deluxe edition, study its own instructions and parts list before planning any extra detailing.
