In an attempt to add vlue to the list (rather than simply sponge off of
it), here is a list of WWI ship models. It isn't necessarilly
comprehensive, but it is a start (all kits are resin or multi-media,
except for those designated by a (p) -- these are injection-molded kits).

USN Subchaser (p) 1/74 Glencoe
USS Olympia (p) 1/200 (?) Hobby Tsukuda
SMS Seydlitz (p) 1/200 Classic Warships
SMS Emden (p) 1/350 Revell AG

There are also aftermarket parts to convert USN WWII BBs back to their
WWI look (cagemasts, etc...), and several WWII "four-piper" USN DDs which
were left-overs from The Great War.

My source is the Pacific Front Hobbies catalog.
