I have this model in my closet, it has been in there for about 18 years. I have wanted to build it but as a rank amateur I just have never dared try it. I am a veteran of the USS Iowa, I served as a gunners mate in 16 inch turret one. The Iowa lives on in my mind on a daily basis as I am sure you can imagine why and I wish I could have you build one of these for me with all the loving detail so I could mount it on a shelf and look at it every day.
Thank you for your service! The Iowa class battleships are awesome. I've been on the Missouri twice, had the honor visit her while she was still on active duty and now as she sits as a museum at Pearl Harbor next to the Arizona memorial. What an honor also to be standing by the plaque where MacArthur and the Japanese Prime Minister signed the unconditional surrender of Japan!
Me and my boyfriend are building this for his dad for Christmas. Thank you!
A woman that builds models is a keeper.
I have this model and have been waiting to get it all together. I might just start it this year. I served aboard this amazing vessel from Mar 1990 - Decommissioning in March 1992. I was the Turret 3 Electrician during gun quarters. I want to get the wooden deck pack for it to give it a really good look. I can't wait to get mine done and compare it to yours.
Thank you for your service. The Missouri will always be the last battleship to have thrown her weight around you're a part of that history, awesome stuff!
That's Tamiya quality; fits like a glove and it's exceptionally clean and well molded...
Nice job man looks great! I’m close to pulling the trigger on buying the 1/350 uss Missouri 1991 kit and this is definitely helping! Lol. I did notice that you built the uss New Jersey 1982 kit because the superstructure was unique on the New Jersey compared to the other three Iowa class ships. And I like the added touch of the helicopter haha
Great build, and thank you for showing this. I have the same kit and have the time now to dive in and start the build. Im curious in watching your process, what did. you use for your glue, and what technique was used in applying it? I marvel at builders that can put together a ship of this quality and have no glue marks. Thank you for any wisdom you can share. Cheers.
Well done ,looks great 😊😊😊😊
outstanding
Really nice build there my friend love it 👍🙏
i had a uncompleted plank on frame model of the misouri ask a friend to bring them back to the states and never seen it again
Nice build, I hope to build a Tamiya Prince of Wales soon, my first Tamiya ship since the 80s as you say not up to par these days, but you have proved what can be done 👍🏻😎
Tamiya Prince of Wales is a great kit, ive built it two times by now, it mostly shares the same strengths and weaknesses as this one. Thanks for the compliments!
El famoso acorazado Americano USS Missouri lo tuvo mi padre cuando yo era pequeño lo hizo en maqueta de esta casa Tamilla. Lo recuerdo muy bien cuando lo acabo lo tenía expuesto en el mueble de mi habitación y me dejaba jugar con el. Con cuidado de no romperlo...... 😀😀😀😀 lo recuerdo muy bien.exacto a este y la misma casa y escala porque era el mismo. Era gigantesco. Ya se ve en en video y tenía pilas y un motor eléctrico y lo podías poner a navegar en un estanque..... que batallas contra la flota imperial japonesa..... también tenía mi padre acorazados japoneses en maqueta....😀😀😀 el acorazado- portaaviones Ise....... y otros más.cuantas veces los hundí jugando en la noche del estrecho de Surigao...... aunque este modelo es la version moderna que lucho en la guerra del golfo persico de 1993 contra el Irak de Sadam Husseim ligeramente remodernizado con sistemas modernos de misiles y comunicaciones aunque usaba aun sus poderosos cañones ya automatizados y muy utiles.sus hidroaviones de reconocimiento se ve que habían sido sustituidos ya por modernos helicópteros.el modelo de mi padre era la version original de la segunda guerra mundial que también la hay de esta casa Tamiya y a la misma escala. erizada de cañones y ametralladoras antiaereas y con hidroaviones que ya la version moderna fueron sustituidos.a bordo de el se firmo la rendición del japon en la segunda guerra mundial en la bahia de Tokio....... el ultimo acorazado de la segunda guerra mundial hoy en dia esta retirado en un museo naval de los Estados Unidos. Una pena.algun dia ire a visitarlo.....
Nice build man
thank you very much!
I have watched a couple of these Tamiya builds and am curious as to what type glue is used as the parts seem to move around easily but then are firmly in place. I am an old, 82, plastics modeller, but have not kept up with the latest glues, etc. Would appreciate any help you could give.
Very beautiful 🎉🎉🎉
Super! 👍👍👍
Thank you very much! Glad you like it
finally, a video that has the full assembly and painting with detailed explanations and no extra kits. I have been searching for this since I am very interested in buying one and I could not find a video without extra kits. I am between this and the Yamato. This has the small PE kit included which is better than the Yamato because it has none unless I spend more $$ to buy de detailed version but I cant afford it. Thank you for sharing. I think I will get this one. I will probably buy some generic handrails just to add a bit more detail to the ship, if I can find some because it is very hard to get them in Mexico.
Greetings from Mexico.
Thank you! I have built the Musashi from Tamiya once, and i have to admit that i enjoyed the Missouri build much more. But it will probably come down to personal preference for either ship. The small PE parts set in this kit are a good addition to the kit.
Excuse me sir: where did you get that USS Montana from? How can I get this beautiful model?
Красота 😍
Great Job again! Where did you get that stencil from? I need a new one and that one looks perfect.
Hi! Thanks! I got that one from amazon, the shape was called "grudge" and it was especially for airbrush tattoo people, there are many motives offered on amazon, you can find some cool stencils there
Love watching your videos. Just an observation,I think your hull red is a couple shades to brown from red. That's just me,still love the builds. I build and tend to modify,1\25 scale semi trucks,I've built a couple small scale ships as a kid,but nothing compared to what's available today!
I've actually carved more boats than built plastic kits. Well carved and built up with sheet bass wood.
Take care,be safe and stay healthy.
Thanks very much! I use the premixed Tamiya Hull Red, i think it is especially made for Japanese ships, as most countries have their own anti corrosion paint, probably with different parts of iron or copper to get different colours!
Carving a whole boat from wood? that sounds impressive! How long does that take?
@@funinscale2892 Carved most of the hull from small bass wood blocks and built up the decks and superstructure from sheet. Did a Liberty ship and a Victory ship,both modelled after ships my grandpa served on in WW2. They're about a foot long , little less, with the cranes and everything. Took about a week of pretty steady work to do each one. Then I've also did some that were like cartoon ships, like little caricatures, of the Missouri, the Nimitz ,and some old style pre dreadnought battleships. Those took 2 or 3 evenings to do each. Did a transitional type battle ship,you know steam and sail, that has a removable main deck so you can look down on the fully detailed gun deck. That one took me over a month,it's about 8 inches long.It was carved and balanced to float on an even keel
O and with a decent waterline/freeboard. Did a Edmund Fitzgerald that's over a foot long, that was pretty easy until I got to the superstructure,and looked at a mislabeled reference photo and had to strip it all off to the main deck and start over! Including the rebuild the Ed took several weeks working mainly on weekends.
I've carved some scale airplanes also. 1\48 scale, TBM bomber,F4F Wildcat,a couple others I can't remember. Those took a week or so of evenings to do. Can't carve much any more,my arthritis is so bad. Really miss it. I concentrate on my scale semi's now, they're my winter and mid summer projects mostly,due the time of driving I do,haul grain during harvest, ridiculous hours for 3 1\2 months or sometimes 4 then a couple months hauling out of our storage bins in the winter/spring. I can get quite a bit done during my downtime,but I usually have one on the go all the time for weekends you know.
One of these days, hopefully this year, a friend of mine is gonna help me set up a you tube channel and tell me how to upload videos,so I might have some of these things,photos, and build videos. Hopefully.
Anyway,I subscribed and I plan on going back and watching more of your builds.
Take care.

What type of glue do you use?
great to see you have Humbrol acrylic paint everyone po poos it . I think it works great for hand painting details
I only have a flesh colour from humbrol in acrylics, but they are great, they are of great viscosity and cover the models very well, i will definitely get more of them!
中间那艘 有四座 3联装大炮台的是什么舰🙂
is that tamiya hull red?
safe to assume youve been gluing all these parts?
Did the pe come with it
4:48 the extended fortop that didn't have in ww2 is that what they called ?
The bowl? i assume this is a radar equipment. But with terminology of ships, i only know some of the most basic stuff, nothing in detail, sorry
I finally got the 1 350 tamiya yamato:) I am a little sad that I can't move the barrels up and down on the yammy like I can on my tamiya Bismarck:( anyways it looks great is an awesome boat
Thanks! I'm usually not a huge fan of movable parts on models because every time i then try to position them differently, something breaks :D but if they would give the possibility, at least...
I was wondering how to paint ships. Turns out the answer is a shit ton of masking!
U know only the iowa had the flag on the turret. Missouri had her ship number on the turret. Just an FYI.

The Missouri had a flag on its turret at some point.
Looks great, I bet it’s a nice change from 1:700 models. I’m thinking about getting my first 1/350, but the price is discouraging.
Yes, the 1/350 are definitely more appealing than 1/700, just because of their massive size! If you don't mind the subject, some Trumpeter 1/350 kits of modern ships, like the USS Freedom or HMS Kent, are around 20€ where i live, so they are quite cheap for what you get
@@funinscale2892 wow! I’ll head to my local model shop to check some out after I finish a 1/700 fly hawk kit I started.
@@PirateWorld1 Are you from europe?
@@funinscale2892 no, I live in the middle of the US
@@PirateWorld1 ok, then i can't recommend any shops :D
Tamiya still needs to step up to the plate on details.
I saw one at a shop and it was broken, looks like the shipping company didn't care :(
Is the hull one piece?
yes
108$ on amazon
really liked the video except for the end. my patriotism sense kicked and and i missed the whole model shot bc i was saluting the nearest flag
Is the hull one piece?
Yes.
