Sure, Melgar. I always like your posts.

I made this when I was 28. I'm 65 now. Sorry to disappoint, but, the model is pretty much a mess. When newly built, you can see how beautiful and BIG the Missouri was. My young son couldn't resist playing with it. He broke off most of the 5 inch guns and radars for the gun directors. It had 20 bofors 40mm guns, which are mostly destroyed. The Revell wood model didn't include any 20 mm guns. All balsa wood sheets, sticks, and planks, it took several months to build. When we moved, 30 years ago, I simply mounted the shelf and left it there. At least the lines of the ship and main battery's still show up well.

If I ever get done building layouts and playing with trains, maybe I'll try fixing it...Thanks for asking.

Jerry
