From the Steelnavy.com website there is a link to an Austrian manufacturer Wiener Modelbaumanufactur and they have a 1/350 scale torpedoboat SMS Elster.

It is a German design and was built (along with 3 others) for the Austrian navy.  They were part of about 22 ships built in this class.  You can find various reviews/builds on this kit.

regards,

Jack

Don - Mirage has the 1/400 ORP Mazur, she was originally built in Stettin as the Z-1 in 1914. Below is a link to it at Great Models. I recently picked one up from a shop on eBay, so they are readily available. Hopefully, this meets your needs. They have different versions of the kit out there. You would want the wz.35 version as it still has the two smoke stacks (wz. is a Polish abbreviation for year). Later in 1935 she had a re-fit and the second stack was removed.

Nope- already have that kit.  Had thought of using it, but the difference of 1:350 and 1:400 is just too much.  Will build the Mirage kit and display it seperately.

German WW1 destroyer/TBs?
Posted by Don Stauffer on Wednesday, July 20, 2011 8:48 AM

Are there any German destroyers from WW1 in 350 scale available?  I was thinking one would look nice in company with my Konig when I build her.  I have a 1:400 one, but I think the difference in scale is way to large to have the two in company on one base.
