About product

USS Massachusetts (BB-59) in 1:700 scale from Trumpeter

This injection-molded plastic kit captures the American South Dakota class battleship of the Second World War. The hull can be built at full height on a stand or as a waterline model. The box contains the main gun turrets of 406 mm caliber, the secondary turrets of 127 mm caliber, finely rendered superstructures, catapult-launched shipboard aircraft, a display stand and a nameplate.

The real subject

USS Massachusetts was the second battleship of the South Dakota class, nicknamed Big Mamie. She was in service from 1942, opened her combat career by shelling targets during Operation Torch off Casablanca and at the end of the war operated in the Pacific against the Japanese islands. Her main battery was made up of nine guns of 406 mm caliber.

Building and painting tips

We recommend liquid cement for plastic, a primer base and painting with an airbrush; American shades of gray in a camouflage scheme are typical. Paint the hull and the decks before you fit the armament. The look is set off by photo-etched railings and rigging, which are not included in the package.

Who the model is for

  • anyone interested in American battleships of the Second World War
  • collectors of naval subjects in 1:700 scale
  • modelers with experience of larger plastic kits
  • builders of waterline dioramas

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The real ship carried nine guns of 406 mm caliber in three turrets; the kit contains these turrets.

Yes, the box allows a choice of a full hull on a stand and a version at sea level.

Rather for modelers with some experience; it is a kit with a larger parts count and many small pieces of armament and superstructure.
