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.

Tricky dicky marketing how they keep changing the number available on this item. 4 to 6 to 3 now to 10 within twelve hours????

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

[Paulh]

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!!!

[Paulh]

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.

I was wondering if the turretts raise and lower or if a kit exists for that. Was also w

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?

[OSMD]

Any pics of the inside, motors/rudders??

[Chris75]

Folks,

Stay tuned for a full unboxing an initial review of the model tomorrow. One word.... amazing

[dai phan]

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
