Undoubtedly, 1/144th scale seems to be the most popular for model warship combat. On the scale scene, 1/96th looks like the most popular scale. For what ship ... pretty much anything you want to build. There is a saying: Build what you want to build for the first ship. After you have battled that ship for a while, you will have a better idea of what type of ship you want for the second ship. Destroyers are not easy builds at 1/144th scale. They tend to be small, narrow, and need special consideration to keep the weight down. Again, I would recommend waiting on a destroyer until you have built a ship. Lastly, find the clubs closest to you. Even at 1/144th scale, there are at least three diffrent rule formats to choose from. You have a better chance to building and battling a ship if there is someone close by to help out and battle with.
