1/700 USS Iowa BB-04 (Niko)
Here are photos of my latest build, the Niko 1/700 USS Iowa circa 1898. It's a great kit and I built it right out of the box. I only added stretched sprue rigging and the two flags. Everything else came with the kit including the photo etched details and railings. I used Floquil Depot Buff, Reefer White, Grimy Black, Engine Black, and Testors U.S. Army/Marine Sand for the deck, along with a water color black wash to pick out the deck details. You can't go wrong with any of the recent Niko kits!
