## Description

Product Description Following the release of the 1/700 scale BB-63 Missouri in July of 2004, Tamiya introduces our second U. S. battleship to the Waterline Series, the BB-62 New Jersey. Serving from 1943 to 1991, the BB-62 New Jersey is the most decorated battleship in U. S. Naval history. Launched in 1942, the New Jersey was one of 4 Iowa class battleships built by the U. S. Like other Iowa class ships she boasted a 45, 000 ton displacement, an amazing 212, 000hp, was packed with three turrets of 50 caliber 40. 6cm triple guns, and despite her large size, with hull stretching over 270m, was designed narrow enough to pass through the Panama Canal. Following serving in major battles in the Pacific during WWII, she was then deployed to both the Korean and Vietnam War. In 1982, she was upgraded with modern technology and weapons systems enabling her to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles and Harpoon anti-ship missiles. Whilst serving on missions in Central America, she was rushed to the Mediterranean in 1983 to provide fire support in Beirut, Lebanon. After serving in the Gulf War, she was decommissioned for the last time in 1991. Paint and assembly required. Safety Warning Safety warning: not suitable for children under the age of 14.

Review: Marca bastante decente de maquetas. El único inconveniente que tuve es que estaba en inglés el manual y era el primero que le regalaba a un familiar que no tenía ni idea de inglés. Quedó muy bien acabado. Cuantos más materiales tengamos para ayudarnos a hacerlo mejor ( pinzas, un buen pegamento, un lugar cómodo se trabajo) . En una semana estaba acabado.
Review: Great product and great service

Correspond à une toute petite maquette, bien regarder les dimensions. Très vite montée par un ado de 16 ans dont c'était la première maquette.
