USS Iowa (BB-61) is the first of four Iowa-class battleships, launched in 1942. This ship served with great success during World War II, participating in operations in the Pacific, escorting aircraft carriers and bombarding land targets, and later also during the Korean War and Cold War episodes up until the 1990s. USS Iowa is a symbol of U.S. naval power and is currently preserved as a museum ship.

The BIG5371 set allows you to add elements to the model that are impossible to replicate in standard plastic, emphasizing the intricate details of superstructures, weaponry, radar systems, and deck equipment. The use of thin photo-etched brass allows faithful reproduction of even the smallest parts, such as radar meshes or crew ladders. This is the perfect choice for demanding modelers who expect the highest level of historical realism and accuracy in their USS Iowa build.

I highly recommend this set to any intermediate and advanced ship modeler who strives to create an accurate and faithfully detailed historic battleship model. The Eduard BIG5371 set guarantees top quality and precision—an investment that ensures satisfaction and a spectacular final effect!
