The USS Missouri (BB-63) holds a key place in naval history as the location of Japan's formal surrender and saw action from 1944 through later conflicts. After being modernised in the 1980s, she participated in late 20th century operations, including Tomahawk missile strikes during the Gulf War.
Tamiya 78029 captures the Missouri's 1991 configuration with carefully updated parts that mirror the ship's modern upgrades. This kit is aimed at builders who value accurate proportions and era-specific details.
Included are newly designed components for the bridge area and Tomahawk launcher deck, plus photo-etched brass and stainless steel wire to reproduce delicate fittings. These elements allow model makers to achieve a refined finish and authentic deck layout.
