Wasnt aware of this kit but am seeing one for a real good price. How does it compare to the Tamiya offering. Looks like it came out close to same time. Is it a clone? Hopefully not like the abysmal academy offerings of Tamiya 350 ships

The Revell 1/350 Missouri is a reissue of the old 1960s-70s Otaki/Arii/Life-Like model. It isn't a bad kit, but I'd go for the classic Tamiya kit which is better.
