This is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the Iowa as it participated in the Battle of the Philippine Sea in 1944. The finished model has a total length of 386.5mm, making it a large-scale model. It would be interesting to compare the size of America's last giant battleship with its rival Yamato, which measures 367mm on the same scale. The slender hull shape and the unique bow shape with its raised sheer are accurately reproduced with a left-right split. The model also captures the characteristics of the Iowa, such as the superstructure with its open bridge and the shape of the bow. The radar, which enabled accurate firing, and the 40.6cm triple turrets, which demonstrated their power in naval gunnery, are impressive even in 1/700 scale. The various anti-aircraft armaments, such as the 12.7cm twin cannons, 40mm quadruple anti-aircraft guns, and 20mm anti-aircraft guns, are also delicately reproduced, allowing for a densely detailed finish. The kit includes a large-format color painting guide explaining the unique Measure 32/1B camouflage applied during the Battle of the Philippine Sea. The Vought OS2U Kingfisher shipboard aircraft is also modeled. The Iowa-class Missouri and New Jersey are also available in the same 1/700 scale.
