So on the way home from the beach yesterday I wanted to hit a few hobby stores. I called ahead to see if any had warship models in stock. The first 2 places I called did not. But the 3rd place I called I hit paydirt. They had multiple models in stock ranging from 1/1200, to 1/200. The place is called Star Hobby in Annapolis MD. We stopped by and they had a great selection of pretty much every model one could want.
As far as ships go, they had a 1/200 Iowa, and a 1/200 Missouri. I wanted the Iowa very badly, but after a beach trip I did not have 350 dollars to drop on a model. My price range 100 dollars or under. They had several models in my range. 2 of which caught my eye. They had a 1/400 Prinz Eugene by Heller, and a model that I have never seen before, by a company I had never heard of. Once I saw it, I had to have it.
So I ended up buying a 1/350 German Konig WW1 battleship by ICM.

I literally know nothing about the brand, and very little about the ship. A quick look at the hull, and included sprues, I noticed that the detail looks pretty darn good. But one thing that I noticed right away is that all of the plastic is a flat white.
I am currently researching a little bit about this ship, as I want to see if the kit is accurate to her true form during WW1. Any input or knowledge about this company, or the model itself is appreciated!
