RC Model Warship Kits and Hulls
The ship kits contain the pieces needed to complete the hull and superstructure. This typically includes a fiberglass hull, decks, prop shaft(s), rudder(s), styrene deck sections, foam and balsa superstructure pieces, scale plans, turret covers, and instructions. It is enough to get you to a nice-looking, but not functional, model ship. Most ships will also require a radio system, batteries, bilge pump, CO2 and cannon system, and running hardware to be combat-ready. All ships are 1:144 scale. Please see our page dedicated to our fiberglass hull construction.
This USS Northampton Kit is an example of a Hull Kit
We have new deck kits for many of the ships. Please see our separate page for deck kits for more information, and order the kits from this current page. The deck set is part of the hull kit.
We now carry masking tape. Yes, masking tape. But not your everyday masking tape. This tape is especially for cutting up your beautiful hulls, the width is the perfect size for marking off your rib widths. The tape comes in rolls 3/8th inch wide and 60 yards long for $4 
and 1/4th inch and 6o yards long for $3 .
Hull Only: Fiberglass Hull
Hull + Deck: Fiberglass Hull plus Wooden Deck Set
Hull Kit: Fiberglass Hull, Wooden Deck Set, Superstructure, Plans
Battling Kit: Hull Kit, Hardware Kit with ESC, Fast Gun Cannon System, Regulator, CO2 Tank, Pump, and Servos. All components appropriately selected for each ship. See each ship’s page for additional configuration options and upgrades.

For those looking to start up with a vast gun ship, the USS Brooklyn, USS Northampton, and DKM Lutzow are the most common rookie ships. A little more difficult to build and operate are the HMS Invincible and SMS Moltke battlecruisers, but they are also more capable.

For the slightly more die-hard modelers out there, we are bringing back some of the pattern sets for wooden hulled ships. These are large format pattern sets that have the ribs and keel (and many include superstructure) for making the ship by hand. These are just rolled plans, and do not include any of the actual building material. This method usually takes a lot more time, but some people prefer it.
