Check out David Foster's review of Very Fire's Missouri in the Reviews section; their new New Jersey kit is no doubt very similar.

Hi Tim, Thanks for the notice on this kit. My father-in-law served on the New Jersey during the Korean conflict. Does the kit include parts to cover this time period? Couldn't tell from the write-up or photos except the paint guide seems to show WWII. Any info? Thanks John

Hi John, I believe you are right, the model shows New Jersey in late WWII fit. The round bridge had been altered by this time to the square arrangement she had in Korea, so I think the main modifications that would be needed to depict a Korean War BB62 would be the aircraft and radars; the SPS-6 & SPS-10 air & surface search radars were added on the foremast in April, 1952.
