USS Iowa BB-61

1/350 USS Iowa BB-61 (Tamiya)

U.S.S Iowa BB-61… Converted from Tamiya 1/350 Scale Missouri kit. She is built in her late 1944 configuration. This is a nice kit and when you add photoetching and L’Arsenals 40mm guns you end up with a really nice model, I think. The hull is one piece and I had to cut it down to waterline witch was a pain, I am mooring her along side the USS Ben Franklin and the USS San Francisco in a 1/350 scale harbor diorama, so I will be able to hide my dismal cutting talents.
