                        rusty white has an excellent cd on the new jersey, check out his website flagship models.com you can get it there thru another excellent website steelnavy.com. On his cd he converts a purposed version of the new jersey as an heavy assualt ship.  He has also covered in past issues of fine scale modeler how to paint the wood decks of the new jersey. check the back issues. I hope this helps.

                        A site that has many photos can be found here... http://www.colosseumbuilders.com/john/nj/index.htm

                        There used to be a page detailing the corrections needed on the Tamiya kit but it was removed some time ago.

                        From there, also go up and access the rest of the IOWA-class ships.

                        Back in 1983 I had the pleasure of watching the New Jersey firing off her main batteries & Tomahawk Missiles. I was on San Nicolas Island at the time. It was an impressive sight to behold & seeing some of these pics brings back those fond memories. I wish I still had the pics that were given to me which were taken from the Island!!
