About product

Wooden deck for USS Missouri BB-63 in 1:700 scale

This add-on set from the manufacturer Flyhawk holds wooden decks for a model of the American battleship USS Missouri in 1:700 scale. The parts of thin wood veneer are precisely cut including the openings for the turrets, the superstructures and the deck equipment and are laid straight onto the plastic deck parts. Real wood with a fine natural grain gives the long decks of an Iowa-class ship a depth that is reached with paint only with difficulty. The set is made to measure for one particular kit — you will find its designation directly in the name of the product.

The real subject

USS Missouri, an Iowa-class battleship with nine 406 mm guns, is among the best known warships in history: on 2 September 1945 the surrender of Japan, which ended the Second World War, was signed on her deck. The ship also served in the Korean War and, after modernization, even in the 1990s. It is precisely her wood-covered deck, on which the ceremony took place, that is today part of the museum ship at Pearl Harbor — a realistic rendering of the deck therefore has a special significance on a model of Missouri.

Tips for working it

  • Try the parts dry first and check that they line up with the openings in the plastic.
  • Paint the plastic under the veneer dark — the gaps showing through will gain depth.
  • For fixing, a thin layer of PVA glue or carefully applied super glue is enough.
  • Protect the surface at the end with a fine matte varnish.

Who the set is for

For ship modelers in 1:700 scale who want to build the famous Mighty Mo with an authentic wooden deck surface and lift the model to display case level without laboriously painting planks.

This is an add-on to a kit, not a standalone model. With kits other than the one stated the parts may not line up.

FAQ

The deck is cut to measure for one particular kit — its maker and designation are found directly in the name of the product. With other kits it may not line up.

On 2 September 1945 the surrender of Japan, which ended the Second World War, was signed on it. The ship is today a museum at Pearl Harbor.

Lay it on the plastic deck part, fix it if necessary with a thin layer of glue, and clear coat it at the end with a fine matte varnish. Painting is not needed.
