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 at the time of her commissioning in 1943.

An enclosed 1944 "round bridge" is available separately.

In addition to the open configuration of the bridge, there were subtle differences between New Jersey's bridge bulkheads and details than those of her sisters.  Many of these differences are captured in this design.  This is NOT a duplicate Missouri bridge with a round front.
 
This model is intended for experienced modelers. Significant modifications to your plastic kit's parts will be needed to use this model.

Features:
scale armored conning tower thickness
open armored conning tower doors with hinge detail
open A/T doors, ready for your favorite photo-etch
multi-part design allows easy access to the interiors for painting
detailed Bofors tub supporting structure
Mk.49 Director tubs (directors not included)
correct door, porthole and vision slit placement for New Jersey
proper bulkhead orientation for New Jersey
 
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"[2]) 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."
