don't forget the IJN Mikasa from Hasegawa. Whilst pushing the fought in WW1 definition a bit she did serve as a Coastal Defence Ship in Japan during WW1. She was also built in the UK and looked very similar, and was based on British Pre Dreadnoughts.

Just poking around a bit after listening to Drachinfel's 3-hour YouTube video on Jutland, there doesn't seem to be a lot. The 4 Konigs from ICM, the Dreadnought from Trumpeter, The Gangut/Sebastapol from Revell/Zveda and the Dresden/Emden from Revell. Even Academy's Warspite appears only in WW2 fit.
Based on Scalemates, BTW.
Only the Konigs and Emdens can be considered to have fought ship to ship. Even the 1/700 selection is pretty slim, Airfix seems to have only offered 1 in 1/600, Iron Duke.
I have a Konig and Dreadnought on order. I have found Emden/Dresden on Ebay, including the double kit.
Is there really nothing else? Not enough interest? Coronel, Falklands, Dogger Bank, Jutland, Zeebrugge, the Dardanelles certainly there are enough historically significant ships out there.
