At 1:400 scale, the pieces are slightly larger and easier to handle, but the detail on the hull is still very sharp. It’s a very clean, professional-looking build. I recommend using a metal ruler for your folds to get those crisp, 'straight-from-the-shipyard' lines. It’s a lot of fun to see a flat sheet of paper turn into a 15-inch battleship!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"FREETIMEJOY","offers":[{"title":"United States","offer_id":55536103784521,"sku":"200007763:201336106","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3847\/6105\/files\/S3f951ca8c8b74cb4b38d9343907559eb0.webp?v=1772999207","url":"https:\/\/freetimejoy.com\/products\/u-s-north-carolina-bb-55-battleship-1-400-scale-precision-3d-paper-card-model-kit","provider":"FREETIMEJOY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
