Trumpeter 05705 USS Missouri BB-63 1/700 Scale Battleship Kit  [TP05705]

Scale representation of USS Missouri BB-63

The Trumpeter 1/700 kit models the famed Iowa-class USS Missouri BB-63 in its later service layout, offering fine detail suited to modellers who build historically accurate warship subjects. The kit reflects the ship as configured around 1991.

Operational history and late life upgrades

Missouri entered service in 1944 and is historically notable for the Japanese surrender ceremony aboard her deck. The 1980s refit equipped her with modern missile systems such as Harpoon and Tomahawk, aspects incorporated into this kit to portray the updated combat fit.

Scale size, parts and finish

At 1/700 scale the assembled model measures 386 mm in length and captures the vessel's profile using 223 plastic parts and two brass propellers. The kit is well suited to display cases and detailed painting projects that highlight the modernised configuration.
