USS New York model ?

Which one?  There have been at least four.

H-P Models does a late WW2 version of the battleships New York, in resin, in 1/700 scale. If you mean the latest New York recently covered in the papers, you might check with JAG to see if they are going to do so as they produce a line of similar vessels in 1/700. WS

I think Yankee Modelworks has produced a resin 1/350 USS New York (the armored cruiser from the Spanish/American war), but I don't know if it is still available (damned expensive in any case!).

Not Yankee, but Iron Shipwright

Niko Models (available from Pacific Front Hobbies) makes a 1:700 scale resin & brass version of the Big 10 cruiser

The new USS NEW YORK. The ship built with steel from the destroyed World Trade Center. Just wondering if any plans for a model of the ship being released.

Go to this site: http://www.jagcollective.com/shipsMain.htm

then go to their ship catalog and see if the LPD model they make is close enough in configuration to the new New York. I believe you will want to look at USS Anchorage and USS Raleigh. I am not familiar with the New York's configuration but I do know that JAG Collective makes excellent kits in 1/700 of modern USN vessels. WS

The LPD-17 San Antonio is what you should be looking for.

 There is a 1/96 scale verson at Scale Shipyard.

 A build up of one here.

A pet peeve of many a warship modeler is using just the name without the class designator (and hull number).  Acccording to the USS NEW YORK BB34 website there have been 7 ships named USS NEW YORK.

Gondola built by GEN Benedict Arnold in 1776

36 gun Frigate 1800-1814

74 gun Ship of the Line, keel laid 1820, never launched, burned in 1861

Screw Sloop, sold while in stocks

ACR2 (armoured cruiser) 1893-1941, named changed to SARATOGA in 1911

BB34, 1911-1948

LPD21 - the newest NEW YORK

 

Over the years there have been several ships in the US Fleet (USN & USCG) at the same time that have had the same name but different class designators and numbers.  One example is MOBILE BAY, a CG in the USN and a WTGB in the USCG.
