Fleet train

Modeling Subjects Ships
1

Hi everyone,

I am interested in fleet train ships from WW II to the present. Especially in 1/700 or 1/350. I have found a few kits of various scales on e-bay but would really like something with command ships, tankers, tenders, transports. I have an old Pine Island kit from Revell (e-bay),and an old tanker (also e-bay) of varying scales and a liberty ship from Sky-wave (1/700). But there seems to be little in the way of command and control ships, submarine and destroyer tenders, transports etc. Does anyone know if there are any kits out there in 1/700 or 1/350? These ships and men seem to be the “foregotten ones” when it comes to subjects and they deserve better.
