Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the battleship Iowa in her configuration as of 1944. The main purchasing distinction is the level of the edition: this is the Deluxe edition, that is the middle of three levels. The manufacturer keeps this line in three levels: Standard builds on plastic and decals, Deluxe adds detailing extras and Platinum is the highest level. The extent differs between individual vessels, so check the contents on the packaging. With the battleships of this line the extras tend to be photo-etched parts, a wooden deck and turned metal barrels. The manufacturer also releases the same ship in the Standard version.
The Iowa was the first of the fast American battleships of her class and carried nine barrels of 406 mm caliber in the Mark 7 mounting. She entered combat at the beginning of 1944 during the operation against the Marshall Islands and in February of the same year took part in the attack on Truk. In Tokyo Bay on 2 September 1945 she was present at the signing of the Japanese surrender. The year given denotes precisely this wartime form of the vessel, not the year the kit was released.
Decide between the full hull and the waterline, as the choice of stand depends on that too. Paint the superstructures and the decks separately from the hull. The camouflage scheme of 1944 has sharp transitions, so masking pays off. Fit the photo-etched railings only after painting and join the metal parts with cyanoacrylate. The small anti-aircraft armament is easier to paint while still on the sprue.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not part of the package, unless stated otherwise.
