Who makes these boats? Curious about manufacturer. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure they are made by KY Models and sold under various names. Bancroft for one.

Good Day Gentlemen. I have been really eyeing that 1/150 scale version of the Missouri, but in the late 1980's refit. I did not know until I found this page that the 1980's version was planned for sale. I had already started collecting fittings to do my own in house conversion from the WWII to modern layout. Does anyone here have anymore info on the modern fit? Will it come to market here, and should I wait to pull the trigger?

Just put my 1/500 "Mighty Mo" in the water today and discovered that they wired the inboard motors in reverse to the outboard motors.. Had bring her home and flip the solder connections around on the inboard motors to get them all going in their correct direction. Beautiful ship and model, but in my opinion...is considerably overpriced and Bancroft really needs to tighten up and knuckle down on their quality control. Motion really treated me well with some price reduction in after sale support, but that doesn't excuse the manufacturer's quality control issues.

To date I have 4 of them, 1/500 Missouri, 1/200 Arizona, 1/72 Fletcher, 1\24 PT Boat, and the LCM3 and all have had quality issues with the exception of one (The LCM3)

I replaced the original scout aircraft with Kingfishers and the crew you see on board is 1/200....will be replacing these guys later with 1/500 figures I am having resin made. Also have an idle smoker on the smoke stacks when she's running. looks good with smoke coming out of the stacks. will be adding servos to turrets 1,2, and 3 later. It took approximately 12 to 13+/- Lbs. to get to ballast correctly and that's with the admiral 7000Mah 2s lithium battery and weight placed full stern and bow.

She's defiantly a looker and looks great on the water.
