For anyone interested in capital ships of the era, this is as fine and detailed an exposure as you will ever see. * Work Boat World * Described as a crucial reference for building a detailed model of 'USS Massachusetts', this booklet is that and a lot more. ... There is detail upon detail upon detail from the very sharp photographs of a brilliant model of the ship. * Ausmarine 01/11/2014 * As we have seen with other titles in this series this is a brilliantly laid out book with superbly drawn and rendered pictures plus a good potted history of this fabulous looking ship. I can highly recommend this book to all interested in the "Big Mammie" as she became to be known. * Britmodeller.com 01/01/2015 *
