The 1/350 Pontos Model USS BB-63 Missouri 1991 Detail-Up Set #35009F1 is an extensive aftermarket upgrade designed to accurately portray the legendary Iowa-class battleship as she appeared during Operation Desert Storm. By 1991, Missouri had been fully modernized with advanced radar systems, electronic warfare equipment, Harpoon and Tomahawk missile launchers, and updated deck fittings, and this set faithfully reproduces those defining features with exceptional precision.
This detail-up set includes a comprehensive selection of finely etched brass, metal, and specialty components that enhance virtually every visible area of the ship, including radars, antennas, platforms, railings, ladders, modern weapons fittings, and superstructure details. Engineered using detailed reference research, the parts are scaled for correct thickness and layout, allowing experienced builders to capture the complex, high-tech appearance of Missouri during her final combat deployment with remarkable accuracy.
