              It is available now.

              However....I am going to hold off. I cannot find any verification on whether the rudder servo is accessible. The one photo with the model being held looks like there is a hatch but not having pictures of the internals doesn't help. This is a big issue for me with their smaller version as well.

                I just pulled the trigger on this. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

                  That indeed would be a problem for me also. The photo of the aft deck looks like there is a hatch just forward of the crane but no confirmation of that.

                      Some do and some don't. Both of these are direct from their listing. Notice the difference in detail on the crane too.

                        Guessing the picture with hatch is the 1/150 and other with more detailed crane is 1/200 ????

                          I am hoping MRC could clear this question up for us. I have been leaning toward the 1/200 but i don't want to cut up a 1049.00 boat to get at the rudder servo!!!

                            Go for the 1/150. Less chance of breaking parts if you plan to run it. I'm pretty sure the one with the hatch is 1/150.

                                The 1/200th definitely does not have it and Paulh is probably right, but with the price jumping up so much, I need to be sure before I could consider it.

                                  Unlike the 1/200 Yamato, the Missouris from Bancroft don't have barrel elevation. Check this close up of one turret. The blast bags are a rigid material that precludes elevation. I do not know of any kits being sold to convert these but it would be doable with either kit bashing or 3D printing.

                                    Showing only 5 left. You can always return it. The 1/200 does not have the hatch. What else could the picture be with hatch but the 1/150?

                                          Hello all,

                                          I just bought the 1/150 MO and I do not know what version it is. I have the Graupner 1/150 Bismark, 1/00 San Diego, 1/150 Belfast, Bancroft 1/200 Yamato, 1/72 Fletcher, 1/40 Coast Guard Cutter. I can tell you 1/150 is the way yo go as 1/200 is way too fragile. All of these are built by Ky's Model in China. I would like to if anyone has bought this model recently and has any issues with electronics? Chinese RTR is notorious for having cheap poor quality electronics. I also fly RC models so I know this issue too well. Dai
