This kit is a fully new-tooled kit of the USS Iowa. The USS Iowa (BB-61) was an American battleship laid down in 1940, launched in August 1942, and commissioned in the US Navy in February 1943. The maximum speed of the USS Iowa battleship was up to 33 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was 9 406 mm guns in three turrets of three guns each, and the secondary armament was mainly 20 127 mm guns. The USS Iowa was the first of six battleships of the same-name type ordered. As it turned out, in view of the failure of the Montana-class battleship building program, the Iowa-class battleships were the last to be launched for the US Navy. As they were built without any financial or displacement limits, they also turned out to be the most technologically advanced American battleships in World War II. They also had carefully crafted armor and new 406 mm Mk. VII with a greater range of the effective shot. USS Iowa (BB-61) began its participation in World War II with operations conducted in the Atlantic in 1943 against the German battleship Tirpitz. From 1944, the USS Iowa served in the Pacific, supporting American operations in the Marshall Islands and the Truk Atoll. In October of the same year, the battleship took an active part in the Battle of Leyte Bay. It involved the installation of modern electronics and fire control systems, as well as the installation of Tomahawk and Harpoon rocket launchers and Phalanx anti-aircraft systems. The battleship was also adapted to the homing of on-board helicopters. Kit includes one PE fret, anchor chain and decals. This finely detailed plastic model kit requires assembly and painting.
