This is an unassembled multi-part kit intended to help improve your modernized USS New Jersey BB-62 model kit as she appeared following her 1982 reactivation.
 
This model is intended for expert modelers with kit conversion experience. Significant modifications to your plastic kit's parts will be needed to use this model.
 
A 1943, as-commissioned "open bridge" and 1944 "round bridge" are available separately.
 
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.

Features:
Scale armored conning tower thickness.
Open bridge windows.
Open armored conning tower doors with hinge detail.
Doors of the correct configuration, most in the closed position.
Multi-part design allows easy access to the interiors for painting.
Detailed CIWS platform supporting structure.
Wiper motor detail.
Correct door, porthole and vision slit placement for New Jersey.
Proper bulkhead orientation for New Jersey.
 
Tamiya 1/350 scale USS New Jersey BB-62 kit owners: please note that the Tamiya kit's Flag Bridge level (the level with the two small sets of windows below the boxy, enclosed Navigating Bridge) is inaccurately too short by 1.52 mm.  For a Model Monkey bridge that will better fit your Tamiya kit, choose the "for Tamiya" option at checkout.
 
This 3D-printed model is designed to match the overall dimensions of features of the real ship as recorded in official Navy drawings.  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."
