About product

USS Alabama BB-60 1:700 (Trumpeter)

An injection-molded plastic model of the American battleship USS Alabama (BB-60) in 1:700 scale from the brand Trumpeter. According to the parts supplied, the hull can be built either as a full hull with a stand or in the waterline version. The package holds plastic sprues, catapult floatplanes, clear parts and decal sheets. The exact number of parts and of the marking schemes is given by the instruction sheet in the package.

The real subject

Alabama was one of the fast battleships of the South Dakota class of the US Navy, commissioned in 1942. Unlike her sister South Dakota, which was built as a flagship, she had the standard arrangement of superstructure and armament. She carried a main caliber of 406 mm in three gun turrets. She served first in the Atlantic on convoy escort and then in the Pacific, where she protected the carrier groups against air attacks. She came through the war and today she is preserved as a museum ship.

Building and painting tips

Decide in advance between the full hull and the waterline version — the waterline stands out on a water base, the full hull on a stand. Glue the small parts of the superstructure and of the gun turrets with a thin modeling cement for plastic. Added realism comes from photo-etched railings and aerials (they are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise). Apply a primer, spray the color in thin coats with an airbrush and accent the recesses and the deck planking with dark washes.

Who the model is for

  • Modelers interested in American battleships of the Second World War
  • Collectors of warships in 1:700 scale
  • Builders who appreciate the choice of a full hull as well as a waterline
  • Anyone interested in the sister ship USS South Dakota

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Yes, the parts allow a build as a full hull on a stand as well as in the waterline version.

Alabama was a sister ship of the same South Dakota class; South Dakota, however, was modified as a flagship, while Alabama had the standard arrangement.

Yes, glue and paints are not included in the package. Use a modeling cement for plastic and dark washes for the weathering; the railings can be completed with photo-etched parts.
