Launched in 1944 as the third Iowa-class battleship, she served across the Pacific Theater and famously hosted the signing of Japan’s surrender documents at the end of WWII. After periods of reactivation for both the Korean War and later Cold War service, Missouri underwent a major modernization program in the mid-1980s, emerging as a missile-equipped battleship capable of long-range strike and modern naval support.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis 1\/350 scale display model depicts Missouri as she appeared during the Gulf War in 1991, when she and her sister ship USS Wisconsin delivered precision Tomahawk strikes and naval gunfire in support of coalition operations. The kit faithfully reproduces the updated superstructure, modern sensors, Tomahawk and Harpoon missile launchers, Phalanx and Vulcan weapon systems, and the ship’s distinctive narrow-beam Iowa-class hull form.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nWith carefully molded radar arrays, deck structures, and surface details—plus optional photo-etched parts and a full display stand—this is a centerpiece project for modelers who appreciate naval history and enjoy the patient craftsmanship required to bring a large warship model to life.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50346151772407,"sku":"MH_TAM78029_HH","price":171.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/3324\/8759\/files\/fa02a4fae532fabc2fe3fb0f608dbcbe.jpg?v=1765381163","url":"https:\/\/checkout.miniaturehobbies.com\/products\/us-battleship-bb-63-missouri","provider":"Miniature Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
