their design seems so crude compared to the sleek WII battleships. who
makes the best 1900-1930 battleship. Would like it to be at least 12"
or more in length (she would too)
1/700, 1/500?
thx - Craig

I don't know that there is a "best", because I am not
sure there are that many making ships in this era. I'd suggest
you consult the warship model website:

Probably any on the Big Five by IHP...they would be BB's 43, 44, 45, 46
or 48.

In 1989 Glencoe did a USS Oregon - BB3 (kit# 08301 - scale 1/225) that
has the decals etc for the Oregon, Indiana, and Massachusetts and color
schemes for 3 time periods (so the box says). She was launched in 1893
and distinguished herself in the Spanish-American war of 1898 so she may
be a little early for your needs. A website I had bookmarked for the
day I build her says she's 19" long and 4" wide.
