Tamiya 1/350 USS New Jersey BB-62 — America's Most Decorated Battleship
Originally built to battle the Japanese Yamato, the USS New Jersey (BB-62) was retired in 1948 — then reactivated an extraordinary three times, serving in Korea, Vietnam, and Lebanon. Tamiya's exquisite 1/350 scale kit depicts this legendary battleship in her modernized 1982 configuration, bristling with Cold War-era weapons systems and detail.
