Trumpeter 1/350 USS Massachusetts BB-59 Battleship

Highly detailed kit from Trumpeter of the battleship USS Massachusetts.

The USS Massachusetts was the seventh ship of the US Navy to bear that name, and was launched on 23rd September 1941. She served with distinction throughout World War II, earning 11 battlestars and having the distinction of no US Naval personnel killed in action on her decks during the war. She was known as "the workhorse of the fleet."

Trumpeter's massive 1/350 Massachusetts is a welcome addition to the scale, and can be built as either a waterline or full-hull model. A nice drydock-style stand is included for the full-hull version, as well as a nameplate. The 16-inch guns can be built either with movable guns or fixed guns with the canvas boots in place. Includes two OS2U-1 seaplanes. Decals are provided for the Massachusetts and its two aircraft.
