These include World War I and Spanish American War vessels, Japanese Maru’s, auxiliaries, mine warfare ships and ‘generic” merchant ships.Īvailability will be announced in our “Web Report” in the “What’s New” section of our website. There are other ships which will be produced on a “Special Limited Production Run” basis. Not all models will be in stock at all times so please name alternates whenever you can and/or maintain a “ship when restocked” list of models with us. Superior Models is now owned and the models produced by Alnavco. We have an entire section devoted to these ships on our “Fleet That Never Was” page. Ships with the term “Never-was” in the description refer to our complete line of “Never-Were’s,” which were ships that were planned by various navies but never made it into production. They are especially prized by naval wargamers because of their durability. Any modeling paint can be used for finishing. A “needle” file can be used for smoothing any “burrs” along the hull. Assembly required consists of placing gun turrets in holes in the deck, crimping the turret stalks and gluing on cranes and catapults (“Crazy Glue” is fine). The models are cast in fine lead-free American pewter and come in kit form. This is perfectly compatible with 1:1250 (1″=104′) models. The scale is 1″=100′ which means that the model of a battleship that was 800′ long, would be 8″ long. Many have been upgraded and improved with finer detailing. This line has it roots in the Authenticast/Comet models that were used in World War II for the recognition training of lookouts and pilots.
