Trumpeter 05756 1/700 Scale Model of SS John W. Brown

The SS John W. Brown is a surviving Liberty ship with a notable wartime record, completing 13 voyages to the Persian Gulf and Mediterranean. She was involved in the Anzio landings and the August 1944 Operation Dragoon invasion of southern France, during which the US Navy Armed Guard aboard the ship shot down an enemy aircraft. After hostilities the vessel assisted in European reconstruction and returned American servicemen to the United States.

Modelling Features and Presentation Advice

This 1/700 Trumpeter kit gives a faithful small-scale representation suitable for display cabinets and naval collections. The parts are distributed over four sprues that include the upper hull, deck, lower hull and a waterline plate, allowing model makers to choose between a full-hull or waterline assembly with accurate silhouette and detailing.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:700
  • Length: 192.2mm
  • Width: 24.8mm
  • Height: 48.5mm
  • Total Plastic Parts: 163pcs
  • Assembly Type: Glue required
  • Decal Marking: SS John W. Brown
At 1/700 scale the kit offers clear deck and superstructure features appropriate for display at normal viewing distance; very fine details may need aftermarket photo-etch to show under close inspection.
The decals are sized for the model and respond well to decal softening solutions. Take care with placement and allow adequate drying time before sealing them with a varnish.
Use acrylic or enamel hobby paints matched to period ship colours; refer to reference photos of the SS John W. Brown for accurate hull and deck tones and apply light weathering for a service-worn look.
