TAMIYA 1/700 WL Iowa japan NEW

Plastic ship model assembly kit

It is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces Iowa when participating in the 1944 Offshore Battle of Mariana in a large model with a total length of 386.5 mm. It is also interesting to compare with the rival Yamato, where the size of the last big battleship in the United States is 367 mm on the same scale. The slender ship's shape was also accurately reproduced in the left-and-right split system with the unique bow shape of the share's warping. In addition, the model captures the characteristics of Iowa such as the shape of the open bridge upper structure and the shape of the bow tip. The 40.6 cm3 continuous turret, which has shown great power also for radar that produces accurate shooting and, of course, ship shooting, is powerful enough even at 1/700. In addition, 12.7 cm continuous guns, 40 mm 4 continuous guns, 20 mm machine guns, etc. are also delicate reproductions of a number of anti-aircraft uniforms, and you can enjoy a dense finish. The kit also includes a large-size color painting drawing that describes the unique major 32 / 1B camouflage that was being applied during the Battle of Mariana. We also modeled the Vault OS2U Kingfisher carrier. The same 1/700 scale Iowa grade Missouri, New Jersey lineup. Missouri was modeled after the post-war period, New Jersey was remodeled into a post-war missile battleship. It is also possible to try to make a transition of the last battleship.
