Academy 14223 - 1/700 USS Missouri BB-63 Modeler's Edition Introduction

The USS Missouri BB-63, known as "Mighty Mo", occupies a notable place in 20th century naval history and is a frequent subject for scale modelling. Academy 14223 reproduces the battleship at 1/700 scale, reflecting its wartime service in the Pacific and its role at the surrender ceremony. The completed model fits neatly into a collection while conveying the vessel's distinctive lines.

Historical Background and Collecting Notes

The Missouri's operational history lends weight to this kit's appeal for collectors and history minded modellers. The parts provide enough surface detail to render a convincing miniature that sits well in a cabinet display without occupying much shelf space.

Assembly Guidance and Detail Work

Achieving a crisp final result depends on careful trimming, test-fitting, and patient painting. Small fittings and superstructure elements benefit from magnification and a steady hand to preserve scale fidelity.
