Trumpeter 03705 - 1/200 USS Missouri BB-63: High-detail historic warship kit

The USS Missouri BB-63, nicknamed "Mighty Mo", is renowned for its role in World War II and as the site of Japan's surrender. This 1/200 scale Trumpeter kit aims to faithfully reproduce the ship's silhouette and key features for model enthusiasts.

Scale Accuracy and Detail

The kit focuses on fine exterior detail, using the larger scale to deliver crisp superstructure lines, armament detail and deck fittings. It makes an excellent subject for display or diorama work.

Construction and Finishing Tips

Assembly involves many small components and careful alignment, so patience and basic tools are essential. Painting and weathering will enhance realism and are recommended to achieve a museum-style finish.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/200
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required

What tools should I prepare before building?

Prepare hobby glue, fine tweezers, sprue cutters, sanding sticks and brushes. A cutting mat and magnifier can help with small details common on 1/200 scale naval kits.

Are decals included and how are they applied?

Most Trumpeter kits include decals for markings; apply them to a smooth painted surface and use decal setting solution if available to seat them over details.

Can this model be displayed outdoors?

This is a plastic display model intended for indoor use; exposure to sunlight and weather can degrade paints and plastics, so keep it in a protected display case.
