About product

1:1200 USS New Jersey – a Starter Kit from Revell

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American battleship USS New Jersey in the small 1:1200 scale from the German manufacturer Revell. The Starter Kit edition is a complete starter package: according to the manufacturer, basic shades of water-thinnable acrylic paints, a brush, cement for plastic, decals and an instruction sheet are added to the parts. Revell has used the 1:1200 scale for ships for a long time, so the model can be placed in one display case with further ships of the same range.

The real subject

The New Jersey, with the hull designation BB-62, belonged to the four battleships of the Iowa class, the fastest battleships that ever put to sea. She entered service in 1943 and carried nine 406 mm guns in three triple turrets. She went through combat in the Pacific in the Second World War, then through the wars in Korea and Vietnam, and in the 1980s the US Navy brought her back into service after a modernization in which she also received guided missiles. She is the most decorated American battleship and today she serves as a museum.

Building and painting tips

Separate the small parts with nippers or a sharp knife, not by breaking them. Spray the hull with a filler primer and paint it in horizontal bands, setting the decks apart separately. The gun turrets and the superstructures are more easily painted on their own and are cemented on only at the end. A dark wash in the engraved lines and a simple base representing the surface of the water will help the contrast.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of ships in the small 1:1200 scale
  • Anyone interested in the US Navy and the Iowa-class battleships
  • Modelers who want the paints and the cement together
  • As an undemanding gift for followers of warships

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The basic paints, the brush and the cement are part of this package according to the manufacturer, other accessories are not, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

To the Iowa class, that is to the four American battleships that were the fastest battleships ever. The hull designation of the New Jersey is BB-62.

Nine 406 mm guns in three triple turrets, two forward and one aft.

The ship went through several modernizations during her long service and her appearance changed. This is not stated here; what counts is the illustration and the instructions on the packaging.

There are few parts and the build is quick, and the paints and the cement are in the package. In 1:1200 scale the parts are small, though, so tweezers and a fine brush will help.
