                        Hello everyone. My 1/200 Missouri recently arrived and I was looking bfor a build log to help navigate around any pitfallsthat might be waiting for me. I must be doing something wrong because I can't seem to find one. There are plenty of reviews of the box contents but thats all i can find. I was hopeing that one of you fine folks might be able to direct me to a build log for this big ship. I can't wait to get started , but wait I must as i need to finish the little USS Bataan 1/700 on the beanch . I also need time to come up with the money for a detail set. not sure which one to go with yet. thanks in advance . you guys are always great help. Happy building

                        There are several on Model Warships.com... also try searching USS Iowa (basically same kit) and USS New Jersey (a popular bash). 

                        There aren't any really comprehensive logs of a completed one as far as I know however... it's a BIG project with a low completion rate.

                        I've got a stalled-out Iowa myself... currently working on a HMS Nelson.

                        I agree with chango, Modelwarship.com is probably your best bet; however, I have not seen a finished project yet.

                        Another source, although you might have use Google translate, is Wettringer modelbauforum.com. There is a project on there but again, it looks like it stalled out. Here is the link.

                        Hopefully, you will post your WIP, since we could use a 1/200 build log here.

                        Hi all, As I said , I have to finish my little USS Bataan before I can start on Big MO. I will have to clean off my work bench to make room for this big ship. also if anyone has an opinion as to which detail set is better. please jump in. I plan on doing her with natural wood decks , thanks again and happy building
