Recommendation: This set is recommended for experienced modelers who want to build an exceptionally realistic replica of the BB-63 Missouri battleship. We rate the difficulty level at 5/5 – assembly requires precision and experience with photo-etched and resin parts. This is the ideal choice for collectors and enthusiasts of the American fleet who demand the highest historical detail accuracy from their models.
