The Blue Water Navy model is the only 1/350th scale kit of this ship on the market today. Measuring 18 inches long, this kit is highly detailed. The upper hull is cast as a single piece-casting split at the waterline so the modeler can have a choice as to build a full hull or waterline model. All the large parts, turrets, bridge, and smoke stacks are cast in resin. All small parts are cast in fine pewter. An extensive photo-etched brass sheet is included to finish the kit.
