This ship was the pride of the United States Navy and can still be admired today as a museum ship in Norfolk.

The Trumpeter 05706 kit perfectly captures the distinctive silhouette and modern armament of the USS Wisconsin after its 1980s modernization ("600-ship Navy" program) – faithfully reproduced 16-inch gun turrets, secondary artillery turrets, Tomahawk and Phalanx missile systems, as well as a helicopter aft deck. Thanks to detailed features on the deck and hull, the model is an excellent choice for both collectors of modern ships and enthusiasts of naval military history.

The set includes sprues allowing for the complete assembly of superstructures and bridges, deck equipment, masts, and radars. Additional components such as decals allow for the reproduction of authentic unit markings from the Desert Storm operation period. The model requires assembly and painting – glue and paints must be purchased separately.

The recommended difficulty level is 3/5. We recommend this model to intermediate and advanced modelers who appreciate accuracy and a wealth of details – due to the extensive superstructure, the installation of numerous small parts, and the possibility of customizing the markings. It is an excellent proposition for United States Navy enthusiasts and battleship collectors seeking a historically authentic and detailed model in compact 1/700 scale.
