Description“The USS Missouri (or “Big Mo” / “Mighty Mo”) is an Iowa-class battleship built by the US Navy in 1944. It was one of a faster class of battleship, which were build to intercept larger enemy vessels, but could still operate as a ship of the line with slower battleships.The USS Missouri is perhaps one of the most recognisable modern era battleships as it was the site of the surrender of Japan, which signalled the end of the Second World War in 1945. It’s also been featured in several movies, including the Steven Segal feature, Under Siege and more recently, the sci fi film, Battleships (which, if you haven’t seen it, is a great homage to the place of battleships in the navy, albeit in a somewhat cheesy film). This 3D metal model kit will provide a challenge for younger model makers and result in a beautiful keepsake.
