1/500 North Carolina
This model is nothing short of fantastic! For a 1/500 scale ship, there is plenty of detail, including the 20 and 40mm guns

1/500 USS North Carolina
I was pleased with the sharpness and cleanliness of all the parts of this model. There are a few mold sinks in a few parts, but nothing that cannot be fixed with a bit of putty. admirable for a 64 y.o. model! The model builds easily, as the parts fit nicely and little to no putty is needed to close gaps (if any). The box art shows BB-55 with the scheme used in 1943, but the model itself better depicts the USS North Carolina circa late 1944, so a change of scheme would be better fitting. If I had to find a discrepancy on this model, is the lack of spotter aircraft and related catapults. Instead, the model comes with a helicopter, but BB-55 went into mothballs before getting any helicopters. This is a great release of the old Renwal model, and although some aftermarket products can be added, this ship looks great straight out of the box.

This is a great kit. One which i waited along time to build. Becasue the kit provides decals for the the USS washington, my uncle's ship. The kit goes together quickly with minimal parts cleanup. Recommended for modelers of all ages.
