1/350 Pontos Model USS BB-63 Missouri Circa 1991 Detail Up Set (Tamiya) #37018F1

$290.00

The 1/350 Pontos Model USS BB-63 Missouri Circa 1991 Detail-Up Set (Tamiya) #37018F1 is a comprehensive super-detail upgrade designed specifically for the Tamiya 1/350 kit, accurately portraying Missouri as she appeared during her final active service period around 1991. This set is aimed at serious ship modelers who want to capture the battleship in her modernized Gulf War–era configuration, complete with the complex mix of WWII heritage and late–Cold War technology.

Recommended kits: 1/350 Missouri Circa 1991 (#78029)

The set typically includes extensive photo-etched brass frets, precision-cut real wooden deck, turned brass barrels, and a wide range of resin and metal detail parts. These upgrades enhance virtually every visible area of the ship: radar arrays, railings, ladders, catwalks, crane details, Mk 38 and Mk 15 CIWS components, Tomahawk armored box launchers, Harpoon missile launchers, antennas, and modern sensors unique to the 1991 fit. The wooden deck is laser-cut for a perfect fit and dramatically improves realism with correct plank spacing and tone, while the brass gun barrels provide crisp, perfectly aligned muzzles for the main battery and secondary weapons.
