Introducing the exclusive Pontos 20004WD1 USS BB-61 Iowa 1944 Wooden Deck set (Teak Tone) in 1/200 scale, designed specifically for the Trumpeter USS Iowa BB-61 model ship (No. 03706). This advanced set is dedicated to modelers who want to give their WWII battleship the utmost historical realism and unmatched level of detail.

Material and Set Contents

The set consists of a precisely cut, self-adhesive wooden deck in a natural "Teak Tone" shade, matching the authentic appearance of the original wooden decks of the USS Iowa battleship. Additionally, the kit includes advanced photo-etched parts, allowing you to upgrade many deck details to ultra-thin, metal components with the highest level of accuracy and replication. This combination of materials (wood + metal) guarantees both exceptional appearance and durability for your model.

History of the Original

USS Iowa BB-61 was the first ship of the Iowa class built for the United States Navy and one of the most advanced battleships of its era. She played an active role in the Pacific Theater during World War II, escorting aircraft carriers during the battles for the Marshall and Mariana Islands, and serving as a presidential escort for Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Tehran Conference. The vessel served from 1943–1990, but this set recreates the ship’s historical appearance from 1944—the peak of her Pacific combat involvement.
