My BB-62 USS New Jersey 1/350 scale by Tamayia Build-log

[nsomnia]

I loved the battle where the americans got the japanese to cross their T.
Boom baby. I think the vets over emphasize when they say the 16 inchers firing broadsize would rock the ship 3 feet. Maybe not.

Unfortunatly the screws are not scaled properly. I assume because everything below the waterline is top secret. The 1954 missouri doesnt even has screws or a rudder cause the AMERICANS didnt know what she had.

That will be great reference material for when I paint the deck painstakingly with a 3 hair sable brush. I do like making small model modifications to give it the detail "wow factor" but I do like accuracy overall.


I forgot to say on the pic of me holding the inboard prop with the stock styrene shaft glued in... you can see my glue glue setup. A bottle of glue with just the tinyest of tips cut or drilled into it then a 1/32" RC fuel hose for a nozzle.
