Executive Edition Iowa-Class Battleship

The iconic Iowa-class battleships, renowned worldwide, are now available in an exhilarating EXECUTIVE EDITION set! As the builder, you have the power to choose which of the four legendary ships you wish to construct. Within the box, you'll discover bricks adorned with unique ship markings, bricks for design customization, and a set of four exclusive black nameplates: USS Iowa (BB-61), USS New Jersey (BB-62), USS Missouri (BB-63), and USS Wisconsin (BB-64). Which of these historic vessels will grace your collection, or will you have the privilege of displaying all four?

Commissioned by the US Navy from 1939-1940, the Iowa-class battleships were designed to operate in high-speed fleet teams (Task Force) for joint missions. From the moment they were commissioned, these formidable warships played a pivotal role in every conflict the United States engaged in throughout the 20th century. It was aboard the USS Missouri (BB-63) on September 2, 1945, that the formal surrender of the Empire of Japan was signed, officially marking the end of World War II. These legendary ships served on the front lines and in reserve fleets until 2006, and today, each one stands as a museum and a living testament to their storied past.

Capturing the essence of these iconic vessels, the COBI construction block model in a 1:300 scale is a true masterpiece for builders. Consisting of 2,685 meticulously crafted elements, the assembly process is a captivating and rewarding challenge, taking several hours to complete.
