U.S.S. MISSOURI - A Question .

Posted by Tanker - Builder on Tuesday, November 15, 2016 4:31 PM

Hi;

I have a question for anyone out there who might've gotten their hands on Trumpeter's 1/200 model of tthe MISSOURI . The question is this .The photos aren't clear . Is she in 1945 or earlier fit or Post 1980 fit ? If it's 1945 I have to plan my budget for all the parts and the kit itself . Looks to be about five or six hundred total .

I could build the Old Incorrect model from REVELL or if I'm lucky get the 1/350 Tamiya version . But you know what wishes are like . In one hand pllpph and the other hand pllpphh . This is a Need to know though !

Would you believe that the " MO " is one ship I've NEVER built ? And I mean Never ! The model I am looking at is in the newest Micro-Mark catalogue ! T.B.

The box art shows her in 1945 guise including fantail catspults & seaplanes. As well as that era paint scheme (Measure 12?) Sprue shots on the link below show WWII stuff as well
