Historical fact: All 4 of the completed Iowa class Battleships were Preserved: Iowa is in Los Angeles, California, New Jersey is in Camden, New Jersey, Missouri is in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Wisconsin is in New Port News, Virginia.
Did you know that bb-65 was going to be USS Montana but due the rising number of Aircraft carriers. USA released that Aircraft carriers will more powerful and useful plus ww2 had come to a end so USA canceled the project when it was like %40 done
As a proud owner of her, bismarck and enterprise, she is worth the price of admision and her construction, i wish cobi can build some day the Akagi, Roma, Richelieu and Hood
Wow! I was thinking the exact same thing about COBI. I absolutely love the italian and french naval architecture during this time and I've looked into constructing Roma with my own lego pieces, though I didn't really follow through with that. But afterwards, I contemplated building Richelieu, and I've been working on it for a few months now, and its turning out pretty good! I was also questioning why the HMS Hood was not in their collection.
@@kade4503 theb again i believe they're testing the waters, no pun intended, with having the most famous ships built first before tge others, and i do agree that those other ships are quite nice
@@revvingnoodle7192 Oh, because I was getting the idea that they were making these iconic ships to generally appeal to a larger audience. Perhaps to gain a greater platform of buyers to then release other, less iconic products.
I was hoping that COBI wpuld make the USS Montana next. Even though she was cancelled. But either way, Iowa/Missouri will still be a masterpiece. Thanks BrickMeet. 😁
In 1945 Japan surrendered to the Allies on the Missouri and WWII ended. They fought bravely against huge evil in the oceans. Sacred ships! Thank you for this video.
Really nice build and set. the only thing I spotted was that at 13:03, You accidentally put the 2nd funnel on Missouri backwards. The gap was just coincidental so its not your fault. Other than that, its a really nice brick model.
I would love this and the yamato displayed on my living room or near the entrance on our home locked on a durable see-through plastic cabinet. Oh, also the b17 bomber too. 😆 new subscriber here
i love it so much, its so sad that battleships are no longer used anymore and no more by the naval forces today, they are only museum ships :'(, they were so powerful in WW2 and cold war but now they are obsolete, i dont know if cobi will release the Arleigh Burke or Ticonderoga missile destroyers, it will be awesome :D
Unfortunately there is little point to such series, as the result would be the same for all COBI-ships. They do float. But not in a way we expect from a ship. First they swim quite nicely but then sink to a level where the entire deck is under water and just some of the superstructure remains above it. And yes, I've tried... :)
One thing about this that I don’t understand that for the Iowa configuration, the instructions say to change the smoke stacks to grey, which is technically not right. Nice video btw
man, i hate that i can´t get this amazing brand in Mexico, there is amazon of course, but it'd be great to find it in local stores. Anyway, keep doing these videos, they are great!
I’m in Canada I get them all from Amazon I have to wait for shipping but usually only 5-7 days and I have building them. I’m doing the RMS Titanic right now 2800 peaces it’s been fun so far.
Please, COBI. Release a model of USS Massachusetts. My birthday was three days ago, and I’d be the happiest guy in the world to have my favorite battleship as part of my collection. I also want COBI to make a battleship model with individual decks inside with window and door holes.
The USS Missouri was my favorite battleship in history, she served World War 2, Korean and The Gulf War. She is now docked on Pearl Harbor in Oahu, Hawaii, and the best thing is, Philippines is near at Hawaii, its just Northeast.
@@BrickMeet Well yes, because we were Allies on WW2, from "The Battle of Leyte Gulf", and "The Battle of the Philippine Sea." And did you know, IJN Yamato's little sister "IJN Musashi" was sunk on Philippine Territory, I found her location, she rest on Sibuyan Sea on Romblon, the middle.
@@BrickMeet I love ships, and we have WW2 Destroyers that are still active in this day, like BRP Rizal, BRP Quezon, BRP Rajah Humabon (Museum Ship on Naval Port, Cavite w/ the Hull Number 11), etc. We don't have Battleships, Aircraft Carriers, but we have Cruisers, Corvettes, Submarines, Frigates, Destroyers, etc.
Actually they are all in the same scale. (1:300) The sizes of the 4 ships didn't differ too much in reality. Iowa: 270m long / 33m wide Yamato: 263m / 39m Bismark: 250m / 36m Enterprise: 247m / 33m The Enterprise may seem a bit too large, but that is due to its flightdeck being higher up and thus being closer to the camera. I have all 4 ships and they match very well.
Cobi wie immer... man kloppt Steine auf Steine auf Steine weist erst garnicht genau wo du raus kommst und dann hast du einen Prügel aufm Tisch und das war dann nur der Bug am geilsten zu bauen fand ich das Heck von der Enterprice.. Baurichtungsumkehr sein Vadda
I guess it works which is interesting. I like to watch scale model building as inspiration to draw. your videos have helped me with my tank drawings too! thank you! (I also watch Plasmo and Nigh shift and other modelers to see all the detail and build up of tank hulls and ships)
Fun fact:a cook from the ship took a photo,in the photo there is a dive bomber doing a kamikaze suicide method,the plane is just 1 meter away from the picture.The pilot got threw in the ship.The U.S. navy put the pilot in a coffin with a flag of a rising sun then thew it away in the Pacific ocean.And after years,Japan sign up a peace constitution on the ship and its just feet away where they threw the body
I ask my parent for it for christmas but it takes 3 months to deliver and christmas in in 2 months so i cant have it by then. But its on my bucket list.❤👍
