World War II Ship Models.?

Question

What exactly do they mean by Scale Waterline Model. I would like to know in very detailed baby words. And what Die-cast means. And if waterline is a goodthing and if die-cast is a good thin.

Answer 1

I believe 'Scale Waterline Models' are those only representing the ship above the water line.  It looks as if they are in the water as opposed to the normal model that depicts the bottom inclusive of rudder and propeller/s if required.

Die-cast are metal models, normally preformed metal models lacking the detail found in models you have to assemble.

Hope this helps
