    I'm looking for someone that might be able to build a 1/48 scale hull, or if you know of someone that might. Also looking to buy a 1/48 or 1/96 scale hull of the Missouri.

    Wow... the USS John C Stennis in 1/48 would be 22'9" long, and 5'3" wide on the flight deck! You need a boat trailer!

    The Missouri would be a relatively paltry 18 and a half feet...

    The Scale Shipyard makes a 1/96 Missouri

    and a 1/96 Nimitz

    they are both right around $1000 just for the hull. Shipping is probably ridiculous.

    A tad bit off-topic but seeing mention of that almost makes me wish I were still living in Irvine, CA; it'd be a little more than a stone's throw away and probably within will-call/pick-up range in an afternoon (I-405 traffic permitting of course).
