the Big Mo.

[Ian M]

I'm considering the purchase of the last of the big four. I have the Hood, Am 3/4 through Bismarck. I have the Yamato in the stash. I guess the next must be the Missouri must be the last being the largest US Battleship of WWII.
Here ends my extensive knowledge of US war Canoes.
Colour wise I have no idea at all as to what Mo was painted with colour wise that is.
There will be plenty of time before I build it, but with the end of Colour coats paints I need to sort the paint quick. Just in case. So does anyone have the low down on the colours of Missouri 1945.
