However the model has " Iowa " on the stern, and 61 on its bow.

@@johnbockelie3899 Revell model making company produced a model of the 1983 version with all of its upgrades. I don't know if it is still available.
Where did you learn how to make a video? A person could get dizzy watching this!

This was before I learned how to edit sorry
actually it's model of the Missouri ,see quad 40mm mount on turret 2 Iowa only had 3 20mm guns there so they wouldn't block the lowest sights of the 3 level conning tower for the Admiral running the fleet the New Jersey ,Missouri &Wisconsin all had the 40 mm up there & there are a few other differences between the ships , incidentually the brass model at the state capitol in Jefferson City MO. has the model of the Iowa with the 20MM guns on turret 2 instead.
I was there I saw it also it's my favorite state capital
My model is nothing compared to that

Nice, but nothing compared to the Battleship Yamato model at the Battleship Yamato Museum in Kure, Japan! The scale 1:10 and the size of a small yacht!
The USS IOWA is “NOT” a boat!
