Manual Instructions
📌Nature of the protagonist
World War II Configuration: The model typically represents the USS Colorado in its later-war refit state, featuring the iconic lattice (cage) masts and an upgraded array of anti-aircraft weaponry.
Armament Realism: Includes the signature four twin-mounted 16-inch (406 mm) main gun turrets. These turrets are fully rotatable, and the barrels can be elevated independently.
Superstructure Detail: The build captures the complex layers of the bridge, funnel, and secondary 5-inch battery casemates that were characteristic of the "Standard-type" American battleships.
Display Stand: Like other ships in the 12GO 98000 series, it comes with a brick-built display stand and an engraved-style nameplate identifying the ship and its hull number (BB-45).
Building Experience
Hull Construction: The set uses a "studs-sideways" technique for the hull to ensure a smooth, hydrodynamic look without the jagged "staircase" effect found in simpler brick sets.
Sticker & Print Detail: 12GO sets often feature high-quality custom prints for flags and deck markings, though some fine details may rely on a sticker sheet for historical accuracy.
Compatibility: The bricks are high-quality ABS plastic, fully compatible with all major building block brands.
Historical Context for Collectors
The USS Colorado was famous for being the first U.S. battleship to mount 16-inch guns, designed specifically to counter the Japanese Nagato-class. Interestingly, it was undergoing a refit in Washington state during the attack on Pearl Harbor, which is why it survived the initial outbreak of the war to become a vital part of the island-hopping campaigns in the Pacific
