ICM S014 ship models 1:700 WWI German Battleship “König” full hull and waterline

SMS König was the lead ship of the König-class battleships built for the Imperial German Navy during World War I. This plastic model kit in 1/700 scale by ICM represents the historic dreadnought battleship and allows the model to be built either as a full-hull display or in a waterline configuration.

The König-class ships were introduced as part of Germany’s High Seas Fleet modernization. These battleships featured heavy main artillery arranged along the centerline, improved armor protection, and a layout optimized for fleet engagement operations in the North Sea. SMS König served as a key unit of the fleet and participated in major naval operations during the First World War.

SMS König - World War I German Battleship

Ships of the König class represented an important stage in the development of early twentieth-century dreadnought battleships. Their design focused on balanced armor protection, powerful artillery, and fleet coordination capability. SMS König and her sister ships formed the core of several German battle squadrons during the conflict.

For modelers: The kit offers both full-hull and waterline display options. Building the hull and superstructure as separate sections before final assembly helps simplify painting and allows easier access to deck details and small fittings.
