Hasegawa 49608 - 1/700 Alabama Waterline Plastic Model  [HA-49608]

Hasegawa 49608 - 1/700 Alabama waterline model for display

A 1/700 scale waterline plastic model kit that depicts the U.S. battleship Alabama, offered as part of Hasegawa's waterline kits.

The USS Alabama (BB-60) entered service during World War II and served in the Pacific theater following her early 1940s commissioning. She undertook convoy escort and shore bombardment missions, earned multiple recognitions, and later became a museum ship in Mobile, Alabama. The preserved vessel serves as a useful example for the ship's external configuration and wartime fittings.

The kit is aimed at builders and collectors who want a concentrated external representation for waterline display. Assembly involves standard plastic modelling techniques; many builders focus on seam removal, controlled paint application, and optional rigging to boost scale realism. Consulting photographs or the preserved ship helps verify period details and paint schemes.

A concise waterline presentation of a historically significant U.S. battleship, suitable for display and finish work at 1/700 scale.
