I bought these models on eBay on the cheap but have no idea on nationality and am guessing that these are 1/6000 scale? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

It is hard to tell in that extraordinary camouflage scheme but the two ships in the middle row look like they might be HMS Hood and HMS Hermes. The ship at the far right might be a King George V class battleship. If so, you could work out the scale quite easily – a 1/6,000 Hood would be 1.72 inches long; Hermes 1.2. Good luck. |

here is my .02 Upper row, far right, Valiant or Warspite or QE, or if only one turret aft, Renown – all WWII
Upper row far left, possibly a C or more likely D or E class British cruiser, WWII Middle Row: Hood and Hermes (or maybe Eagle, given her size relative to Hood) – Both WWII Front row left: German BC Seydlitze, WWI
Front row right: Iowa class BB, WWII |

I think the manufacture is Panzershafe? |

Definately not 1/6000 Figurehead ships, as they are too crude. They look like 1/4800 Leicester Micro Models ships from the 1970s. Note that no gun barrels are visible on the turrets. The molds are currently owned by MY Miniatures, I believe, who have upgraded them slightly by adding gun barrels. Mark H. |
