Tamiya 78005 New Jersey BB-62 1/350 Scale Ship Model  [78005]

1/350 Scale Build of the Historic USS New Jersey

The Tamiya 78005 kit recreates the U.S. New Jersey Battleship, BB-62, at 1/350 scale, reflecting its notable service across 20th century wars. The model notes the vessel's original design constraints for Panama Canal transit with a beam under 110 feet and traces its timeline from launch in 1942 to roles in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

Parts are arranged to show the ship's weapons and structural updates over different eras. The kit illustrates the shift from the classic 16-inch gun turrets to later armament changes, providing an engaging build that documents the New Jersey's adaptability.
