placeholder for the Trumpeter 1/700 USS Missouri, pics in a bit

Box and sprue shots

Great to see a ship...and what a ship. Bet even at 1:700 this is a fair size.

I can just see the length says 386mm which is 38.6cm or 15 inches. Big enough but the sprues still look full on tiny bits!!.

Thought that this might help you with your references research, a young(er) Cher, wearing a piece of string, aboard the Missouri in the official vid for 'Turn back time' Don't know how useful it will be, but it certainly seems to get the seamen going!

Just noticed there's a ship on there too

Not always where you want it to go either

Trumpeter seem to be very specific about who they want to paint the SH-60 in this kit



Don't know anyone by that name so will have to ignore the instructions and paint it myself, hope that's ok

It'll probably be that guy from 'Fifty shades of Gary'
....although 'Gary Friars Boaby' is definitely not to be confused with the Disney movie

Wow that's a big ship even in 1/700.

Finally put some paint to plastic on this one. A few details to pick out on the decks then I can start construction proper

Here is a useless piece of information, the American Battle Ships were designed long and thin so they could fit through the Panama Cannel, the British and German ships had a broader beam to length ratio as they did not have the same constraints.

If you ever visit Wilmington in the USA I can recommend a visit to the USS North Carolina these ships are really, really, big.

Nice work on the paint job those crisp lines look excellent.

As my Abode Flash Player is disabled I could not see the video above so I googled 'Turn back time'. WOW, For an old girl she is quite impressive, just like yours is so far.

Hate to break it to you but that video's nearly 30 years old now!
