Yankee Modelworks is proud to release this caged mast battleship from the 1930's. The kit is outfitted as she was on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941. She took heavy damage that infamous morning, but she was later repaired to fight another day. That day would be October 24, 1944 at Leyte Gulf.
The kit measures 21 1/4" long. The hull is a single piece casting divided at the waterline. The large parts such as the deck levels and turrets are cast in resin. All the small parts are cast in fine pewter metal. a very large photo-etched brass sheet is provided as well. This kit while not for the novice modeler, is recommended for the modeler of average skill. The kit makes a great addition to any 1/350 scale collection.
For advanced modelers only!
Yankee modelworks kits are resin and metal kits designed for modelers experienced in these materials. These are not plastic kits and require a different skillset to construct.
