The New Mexico and Tennessee class ships were the backbone of the US battleship fleet during World War II. They participated in major battles in the Pacific, taking part in key engagements such as the Battle of Surigao Strait and amphibious operations in the Marshall and Mariana Islands. They served in the United States Navy from the 1920s up until the end of the war, undergoing modernizations and numerous refits. The 14in/50 barrels formed the foundation of these ships' firepower.

The Master SM-700-050 set is recommended both for beginner and advanced modelers specializing in 1/700 scale ships who value historical accuracy and attention to detail. The assembly difficulty is rated at 2/5 – the product requires delicacy and precision, but swapping plastic barrels for brass ones does not pose significant difficulties.
