USS Iowa - Model for 1/4000 printing

3D Model

The Iowa-class of battleships was the biggest ever constructed class of battleships by the US and were in service until the 1990s. Four ships were built: Iowa, New Jersey, Missouri and Wisconsin. Building started in the early 40s and was completed around 1944. Six ships were planned, but the last two got cancelled. Even though they were built to fight battleships, not a single one ever faced a big opponent. All ships participated in WW2, Korea, Vietnam and the Cold war. They got decommissined and commissioned several times, undergoing serious refits to stay up to date with the modern weaponries. You can visit all four ships as museums in the US where they are kept as memorials. This model shows the state of the 50s configuration.

This model was made by me with the help of the official recognition manual from the US Navy and features only the most important pieces of detail. This model is optimised for printing with a 3D Resin printer like my Elegoo Mars in 1/400 scale.
