About product

The battleship USS Wyoming BB 32 in 1:700 scale

The kit shows an American battleship as she was in 1912, that is, at the start of her long service. In 1:700 scale the result is a model that can be set beside cruisers and destroyers from the same collection. The item is offered by ROP o.s.

The real subject

Wyoming belonged to the last generation of American battleships armed with twelve-inch guns, before the move to a heavier caliber. The main armament was twelve barrels in twin turrets arranged on the centerline of the hull, and the silhouette was set by the tall cage masts typical of American ships of that period. The ship served in both world wars, though later only as a gunnery training vessel, so her appearance changed fundamentally several times during her career.

Building and painting tips

The cage masts are the finest part of the whole build; give them calm and good light. Set the wooden deck apart from the gray hull with a thin layer of oil paint drawn along the direction of the planks. Suggest the anchor chains with a piece of fine chain, and finally unify the whole surface with a matte varnish so that the color transitions even out.

Who the model is for

  • admirers of battleships from before the First World War
  • modelers with experience of fine superstructures
  • collectors who are tracing the development of the American fleet
  • builders of themed display cases in a single scale

The set arrives unassembled and unpainted; the chemicals and paints for finishing are bought separately.

FAQ

The year in the name refers to the beginning of her service, that is, the state with the original main armament and the cage masts, not the later rebuilding.

They are among the finest parts of the model. Work with a sharp knife and super glue, and preferably in several unhurried steps.

How the hull is broken down is not stated here. If you are planning to set it into a water surface, allow for having to cover the lower part of the hull.
