A Little Intimidating
I have built several 1/350 scale ships and enjoy the challenge of the 200 scale Missouri. You will definitely need tweezers for models,masking tape for models, paint and a slew of other tools along with a magnifying, swing arm light and a third hand with magnifier glass for the really small parts..
Kit consists of over 1573 parts including 11 photo-etched frets for handrails, ladders, radar parts, etc. Includes 2-piece hull, 2-piece deck, multiple guns, two SC-1 reconnaissance seaplanes, display stand and name plate. Completed kit
measures a whopping 53” long!
If you can afford to buy this model then I suggest also purchasing the Pontos Super Deluxe Upgrade kit with real teak wood decks. I have had my 200 scale USS Missouri now since August of this year and still have probably two more months till completion and that is working on the ship for 6-8 hours a day six days a week. Once the ship is complete I will have a Rosewood base made and a plexiglass cover to protect the model from dust.
