Shop naval warship model kits at Fairfield Collectibles, with 75 kits from Trumpeter, Atlantis Models, and Italeri covering aircraft carriers, submarines, and destroyers. Scales here run smaller than our other kit collections — typically 1:350 to 1:720 — to keep a full-size carrier or battleship a manageable build.

Why Build Naval Warship Kits?

A scale-accurate warship demands a much smaller scale than a car or aircraft kit — a real aircraft carrier stretches over 1,000 feet, so even at 1:720 the finished model is still a substantial centerpiece build. Trumpeter and Atlantis Models both specialize in named, documented vessels rather than generic ship shapes, letting builders recreate a specific carrier, submarine, or destroyer down to its hull number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are warship kits built to such small scales?
Real warships are enormous — a modern aircraft carrier runs over 1,000 feet long — so scales like 1:350 or 1:720 are necessary to keep a finished model a displayable size; a warship at car-kit scales like 1:24 would be unbuildable.

Are these based on specific, named vessels?
Yes — manufacturers like Trumpeter and Atlantis Models typically model documented, named ships such as the U.S.S. Nimitz or U.S.S. George H.W. Bush, rather than generic warship silhouettes.

What's the difference between this collection and your pre-built diecast warships?
These are unassembled plastic kits you build and paint yourself; our diecast Warship Models collection is fully built and finished, ready to display without assembly.

Are submarines included alongside surface ships?
Yes — alongside carriers and destroyers, this collection includes submarine kits like the U-Boot Biber midget submarine.
