Hasegawa 49608 1/700 Battleship Alabama Waterline Kit  [HA-49608]

Hasegawa 49608 - 1/700 USS Alabama waterline kit

A 1/700 scale waterline plastic model of the U.S. battleship Alabama produced as part of Hasegawa's waterline series.

The USS Alabama (BB-60) entered service in the early 1940s and operated in the Pacific during World War II. She performed convoy escort and shore bombardment duties, earned multiple battle distinctions, and was later preserved as a museum ship in Mobile, Alabama; the preserved vessel is a primary reference for the ship's external profile, superstructure arrangement, and wartime fittings.

For model builders and collectors this kit concentrates on the exterior silhouette appropriate for waterline display. Typical build steps include seam cleanup, layered paintwork, and optional rigging to enhance scale realism; using reference photos or visiting the preserved ship can assist with period-accurate finishing choices.

A compact waterline representation of an important U.S. battleship, intended for display and detailed finishing at 1/700 scale.
