Very nice indeed, like you say needs a scrub up, but nothing a bit of elbow grease can't sort out, I have the Trumpy 1/200 USS Missouri brand new still in the box, I will have to build it soon!!

With THAT much room inside I expect to see all the guns function and shoot BB's.
Can't wait to see what you do to it!

Cracking model
Recently built a Tamiya 1/700 scale model of Yamato, the plethora of AA guns at that scale was quite challenging but I think mine came out quite well. I rather like the appearance of the Japanese battleships, might be to do with the shape of the Bridge superstructure.
