【 Projecting American Military Power into the 20th Century 】 Originally built to combat other battleships like the Japanese Yamato, the New Jersey was retired in 1948 but was reactivated an amazing 3 times, serving in Korea, Vietnam, and Lebenon. Tamiya's exquisite 1/350 scale model kit depicts this veteran battleship in modernized form, with such features as Harpoon missile launchers, Phalanx close-in defense systems, chaff dispensers, and two SH-60B helicopters. Special display base and beautifully crafted nameplate also included. |
