Responsibility details are not available.
An add-on detail set in 1:350 scale from Pontos Model for the battleship USS Missouri. Sets of this kind replace coarsely molded plastic features with finer parts and add details the kit does not have; on large surface ships these are typically railings, ladders, walkways and the fine structures of the superstructures. The set is not a model on its own and without a base plastic kit it cannot be used.
USS Missouri BB-63 was a battleship of the Iowa class, taken into service in 1944. Ships of this class combined nine 406 mm guns with high speed so that they could operate together with the carrier forces. The Missouri took part in the fighting at the end of the war in the Pacific and on 2 September 1945 the Japanese surrender was signed on her deck. The ship was later reactivated, served in the Korean War and in operations in the Persian Gulf, and today she is a museum ship at Pearl Harbor.
Detail sets of this kind replace coarsely shaped plastic features with finer parts, so you work with small components and it is good to proceed in sections. Separate the photo-etched parts on a hard support with a sharp knife or special nippers, fold them in a bending tool or between two razor blades and glue them with a super glue with an extended setting time, or spot-glue them with a gel-consistency glue. Degrease the metal before painting and give it a primer coat, otherwise the paint flakes off. Fit the set as the model goes along, not onto a finished hull: a number of parts are accessible only before the deck and the superstructures are closed up.
The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
