Hello all!
Are there any full hull ships besides Japanese in 1/700 scale? I have
a couple of nice Dragon 1/700 Bismarck and Tirpitz kits. Most others
seem to be waterline.

Dragon markets quite a few 1/700 ships in Waterline from other
manufacturers. An example is the USN Atlanta class CLAAs. Plenty of
modern ships too (e.g., RN Type 42 DDG, Illustrious class
carrier). Hasegawa has some special kits in full hull (Akagi, Kongo
class). Can't think of any more offhand.

I wanted to get something like the Graf Spee. Also maybe to get a
collection of it all in 1 scale. While many nice kits in all scales,
I guess I can't get them all in one.

Revell used to market ships in 1/720th scale.  Perhaps they still do.
I know it's not strictly 1/700th but for me it would be close enough.

Pitroad have released Baltimore class heavy cruiser (that'll do for
the Graf Spee in a pinch <g>) as full-hull option, and maybe their
brand-new Lexington can also be done full hull, not sure about that...

Italeri produced a full-hull Graf Spee in 1/720.  It's not in their
current catalog but it can still be found in some hobby shops.  Testors
also reboxed some of Italeri's ship kits.
