A Little Help, Please

[Kilo66]

While researching the armored cruiser USS New York / Saratoga / Rochester (ACR-2 / CA-2) I came across this photograph of a 1/350 scale rendering of that ship. As you can see, she shares the spotlight with an unidentified same-scale warship of indeterminate identity. I'm guessing the latter may have flown the Royal Navy colors and though she is clearly a dreadnought she is just as clearly not the Dreadnought. Other than being certain she is also certainly not the later USS New York, battleship BB-34, I haven't the slightest idea who she might be. Surely one of you shipmates will recognize her. My curiosity on the issue has become a bit of a proverbial burr under the saddle. Thanks muchly for any suggestions.

that is a ww1 German battleship because of the shape of the funnel bases & the shape of the bow especially the underwater part.

Thank you, David. With that nudge in the right direction, I took a closer look at the Kaiser's men-o-war and now would tentatively identify New York's shelf-mate as one of the five Kaiser-class battleships of the "War To End All Wars." But which one!?

it appears to be ICM Konig WWI German Battleship 1/350 Scale https://www.sunwardhobbies.ca/icm-k...CU853TbnR9Tftvop3aXhGEYtL8So-dAnjr4VVZfQkZclW

Based on the main turret arrangement of the model posed next to the USS New York, I'm going to stick with identifying her as one of the Kaiser-class sisters, possibly represented by the SsModel 1/350 offering. As illustrated below, the Konig-class had their five turrets all arrayed in single file along the centerline while on the Kaiser-class the number two turret was offset to starboard, the number three to port. The depicted 1/350 model more closely tracks the latter configuration. In any event, thank you so much for the initial data, it sure made "solving the case" a whole bunch easier.

you are welcome.
