This is an unassembled multi-part kit intended to help convert any World War Two configuration USS Missouri BB-63 model kit to sistership USS New Jersey BB-62 as she appeared from late 1943 through 1944.  
 
This model is intended for expert modelers with model kit conversion experience. Significant modifications to your plastic or card model kit's parts will be needed to use this model.
 
In addition to the round bridge, there were subtle differences between New Jersey's bridge and those of her sisters.  Many of these differences are captured in this design.  This is NOT a duplicate Missouri bridge with a round front.

open bridge windows
open armored conning tower doors with hinge detail
detailed A/T doors in the closed and dogged position

This 3D-printed model is designed to match the overall dimensions of features of the real ship as recorded in official Navy blueprints.  It is not a copy of any injection molded plastic or resin kits' parts and therefore may be differently shaped and sized.  Some adjustment to your kit, or other aftermarket products such as photoetch, may be necessary for best fit.

From Wikipedia: "USS New Jersey (BB-62; "Big J" or "Black Dragon") is an Iowa-class battleship, and was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named in honor of the US state of New Jersey. New Jersey earned more battle stars for combat actions than the other three completed Iowa-class battleships, and was the only US battleship providing gunfire support during the Vietnam War."
