Trumpeter 03705 - 1/200 USS Missouri BB-63: Detailed ship modelling project

The USS Missouri BB-63, called "Mighty Mo", is famous for its World War II service and for hosting the formal surrender. This 1/200 scale kit from Trumpeter captures the vessel's defining shapes and offers a substantial modelling project.

Model Detail and Features

At this scale the kit includes many small structural and deck elements, allowing accurate portrayal of the ship's superstructure, gun placements and deck fittings. The level of detail rewards careful assembly and finishing.

Recommended Builder Approach

Builders should expect a multi-stage assembly with precise alignment of parts. Painting, rigging and decal application will improve historical accuracy, so set aside time for careful finishing.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/200
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included, recommended for authentic finish

How detailed are the smaller fittings on this kit?

The 1/200 scale permits detailed fittings such as railings, ladders and vents; these parts are small and require careful handling during assembly and painting.

Is this kit suitable for adding aftermarket upgrades?

Yes, experienced modellers often add photo-etched parts or custom rigging to increase realism. Check compatibility and plan modifications before you start gluing parts together.

What finishing steps improve display quality?

Use primer, fine paintwork, decal softener and a clear protective coat. Subtle weathering can enhance realism but keep it consistent with the ship's service appearance.
