1:700 scale
1:700 scale is a widely popular scale mainly used by Japanese ship model kit manufacturers, such as Aoshima, Tamiya, Hasegawa, Fujimi and Pit-Road
==History==
Manufacturers such as Airfix, Renwal, and Heller were producing ship models in various scales, ranging from 1/400 to 1/600 scale. Airfix began producing constant scale 20th century warship subjects to 1/600 scale in 1959.〔Ward, p. 178.〕 In 1967, Revell began to produce ship kits in a unified 1/720 scale, and Italeri followed Revell ten years after. In 1971, Japanese manufactures started to produce a series of 1/700 scale water line ship kits. In this scale, approximately 1 inch equals 60 scale feet.〔Ellis, p. 72〕 This series steadily expanded over the years. At the beginning, only ships of the Japanese Navy were available in the series, but later American, British and German navy subjects were also included. Between 1977-1979, Matchbox released a small number of British, German and US waterline ship kits,〔http://www.matchboxkits.org/index.php?cPath=88&osCsid=etuimh73d0kv04f2p9gsrk2l90〕 they were designed to be made of different colors of plastic so that painting was not required.〔http://modelingmadness.com/scotts/misc/ships/narvikpreview.htm〕
Due to the large range of water line kits available in this scale, it became popular and now widely considered as a 'standardize scale' in ship modelling. Today there are other companies outside Japan producing 1/700 scale ships as well, such as the Chinese company Trumpeter and Dragon Models. Various aftermarket photo-etched detailing parts are also widely available for adding fine details to ship models.
