Looking for Pre-Dreads?

Hello all. After a long hiatus I am trying to get back into paper modelling. I am looking for Pre-Dreadnought ship models. My current obsession is trying to covert the paper models into R/C models. I had quite a collection of PDN models, but lost most of them in a tornado and the subsequent moves.

In particular I am looking for HMS Victoria. I had a model from Gremir, i think, but they seem to have gone the way of the dodo. It is my favorite ship, a sexy little oddball with a single turret which I desperately want to make into an r/c version.

So I am looking to start modelling again and need some cheap kits to relearn skills so I can work my way up, again.

Any recommendations, links, tips would be greatly appreciated.

thank you
-chris

There are few pre-dreadnought ships on ecard now.USS Maine and Infanta Maria Teresa look to be well detailed for enlargement.Whole lot of montors too.

A lot of full hull models of pre-dreadnoughts are issued by the following companies:
Dom Bumagi
Oriel
Modelik. Modelik has a french (Hoche) and an italian cruiser (Duilio), most of the other subjects are russian cruisers and torpedo boats.
If you want to brrowse, this is a good website to get an overview what is available:
